Insurance

"Fire Sale"

After meeting with the boss, the head
salesperson mustered the troops.

"People," he said, "I've just been informed that
we're going to be having a fire sale."

"A fire sale?" spoke up one agent. "But we
sell insurance."

"I said a fire sale, and I meant it," he replied
rather coldly. "Anyone who doesn't make a
sale gets fired...."

"Insurance"

Larry's barn burned down and his wife,
  Susan, called the insurance company.

Susan told the insurance company, "We
had that barn insured for fifty thousand and
I want my money."

The agent replied, "Whoa there, just a minute,
Susan. Insurance doesn't work quite like that.
We will ascertain the value of what was insured
and provide you with a new one of comparable
worth."

There was a long pause before Susan replied,
"Then I'd like to cancel the policy on my husband."
