Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

If an insurance company advertises a lot on TV and claims low rates, you know that they’re probably going to be more expensive.
Lately, I've been wondering about what kind of insurance company misses a typo within their slogan, in a national ad buy:

Next Needs a Space.jpg


Somebody at the ad agency, and in the company, need some reminders about proofreading the copy. :wacky:

Mebbee, they should hire La Contessa. Then, besides correcting their ad, this would provide more dream fodder for her.

I met a couple times with a healthcare insurance broker to learn about Medicare. She was really pushing the HMO (Advantage) stuff and AARF AARP was the highest cost plan. So much for their "group rates" lowering the cost of coverage through them. :rollno:
I started with AARP/UHC, but a USAA rep. turned my on to Humana's Honor PPO for vets who get their primary care through the VA. Saved me a ton of money. And now, I'm switching to French health care.

You have to work really hard to make that many mistakes in one sentence. :thumbsup:

Reminds me of the excellent late '60s and early '70s drum corp from Duluth called the Dumb and Bungle Corp. Their "mistakes" were hilarious. Only had to march in front of them once. I was the drum major, and had my corp behind me, but could still hear the mistakes. :roflmao: They had a couple of guys with M1's, shooting blanks. Couldn't do that today. And their drum major was an adult in a diaper in a monster baby carriage, being pushed by (my guess) their worst musician. :smug:

    Holy :poop:!!!
    I don’t know whether I should be more shocked that it happened…OR that it took so many years for it to happen!



    My Bride and I were outside, surveying the estate…Lots of potted plants in the driveway…some of them are happy n healthy…a few, lesser so.



    I put my beer down on the tailgate so I could rearrange a pair of the containers…turned back,



    sipped my beer, and Damned if there wasn’t a Yellowjacket inside the can, and Damned if he didn’t hit me Hard!



    Being one who follows directions, I had a Benedryl in me in less than a minute…ice on it a minute later.



    6 hrs later…hurts like Hell!

So, you got a real buzz on from your beer, eh?
