Larry’s barn burned down and his wife, Patti, called the insurance company.
Patti spoke to the insurance agent and said, “We had that barn insured for fifty thousand, and I want my money.”
The agent replied, “Whoa, there, just a minute! Insurance doesn’t work quite like that. An independent adjuster will assess the value of what was insured, and then we’ll provide you with a new barn of similar worth.”
There was a long pause, and then Patti replied, “If that’s how it works, then I want to cancel the life insurance policy on my husband.”
