Here's a portion of the script from Monty Python.<br /><br />***<br /><br />VICAR: It's about this letter you sent me regarding my insurance claim.<br />DEVIOUS (The insurance agent): Oh, yeah, yeah - well, you see, it's just that we're not... as yet...totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.<br />VICAR: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.<br />DEVIOUS: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.<br />VICAR: But my car was hit by a lorry while standing in the garage and you refuse to pay my claim.<br />DEVIOUS: (rising and crossing to a filing cabinet) Oh well, reverend Morrison... in your policy... in your policy... (he open the drawer of the filing cabinet and takes out a shabby old sports jacket; he feels in the pocket and pulls out a crumbled dog-eared piece of paper then puts the coat back and shuts the filing cabinet)... here we are. It states quite clearly that no claim you make will be paid.<br />VICAR: Oh dear.<br />DEVIOUS: You see, you unfortunately plumped for our 'Neverpay' policy, which, you know, if you never claim is very worthwhile... but you had to claim, and, well, there it is.<br />VICAR: Oh dear, oh dear.<br /><br />***<br /><br />The reason this is so funny is because it is so sadly true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740887.post-58737471030541681432006-10-01T07:19:00.000-07:002006-10-01T07:19:00.000-07:00The house could have been nothing but a pile of to...The house could have been nothing but a pile of toothpicks, and an insurance company would still dispute the claim. Reminds me of Monty Python's "The Bishop" sketch: "Well, you have a 'no claim' policy, which is great, unless you have to claim!"Tony LaRoccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645535189191174927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740887.post-59396235498623072122006-09-30T20:05:00.000-07:002006-09-30T20:05:00.000-07:00Incredible picture, terrible devistation.Incredible picture, terrible devistation.Kim de Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658353268616114695noreply@blogger.com
