Three insurance brokers meet around the buffet of a sales seminar. They take the opportunity to show off their respective insurance companies. The first says to the other two:
- When one of our policyholders dies accidentally on a Monday, if we are informed in the day, we can prepare the premium for the wife the same day and she will have her check Wednesday morning in the mail!
The second does not want to be left out:
If one of our policyholders dies by accident on a Monday, we are informed within two hours and we can provide the widow her check in the evening!
The last seller announces them triumphantly:
- Everything you just said is nothing. My office is in Place Ville Marie on the tenth floor. One day, one of our insureds was washing tiles on the 22nd floor when he slipped and fell off . Well, you'll believe me if you want, but we gave him his check when he fell in front of us!
