Guess It Ain'T Worth Much

He's protected by insurance on his house
   his vehicles, a wide range of health concerns
   permanent disability, large appliances
   his business and all its applicable insurables

   against floods, wars, tornadoes earthquakes
   glacier-melt, cyclones, asteroids, meteors
   avalanches, mudslides, volcanoes, air and 
   seat travel...

                   ... But nothing on his own life

Sad situation. No, he thought death was for someone else and that he might die one day but at a much later date. I enjoyed reading this true to life one. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Ha ha, ha! That's exactly what term insurance is -- i.e., 'death insurance.' You get nothing if you outlive the term of the contract you buy. ~ gw
