GI Insurance

"GI Insurance"*

*Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center where
he was to advise new recruits about their government
benefits, especially their GI insurance.

It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman
Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales,
which had never happened before.

Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the
back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch.Â
Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the
new recruits, and then said:

"If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are
killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your
beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and
you go into battle and get killed, the government has
to pay only a maximum of $6000."

"Now," he concluded," which bunch do you think they
are going to send into battle first?

"Brave Pilots"*

*While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered
and Mr. Benson looked out the window.

"Good Lord!" he screamed, "one of the engines just blew up!"

Other passengers left their seats and came running
over; suddenly the aircraft was rocked by a second
blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side.

The passengers were in a panic now, and even the
stewardesses couldn't maintain order. Just then,
standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot
strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that
there was nothing to worry about. His words and his
demeanor seemed made most of the passengers feel
better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked
to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed
several packages from under the seats and began
handing them to the flight attendants.

Each crew member attached the package to their backs.

"Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "aren't those parachutes?"

The pilot said they were.

The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there
was nothing to worry about?"

"There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine
exploded. "We're going to get help."
