I just had to share this. I hope it doesn't offend anyone, if it does I am sorry. Tina Knapp A Death In The Family The applicant for life insurance was finding it difficult to fill out the application. The salesman asked what the trouble was, and the man said that he couldn't answer the question about the cause of death of his father. The salesman wanted to know why. After some embarrassment, the client explained that his father had been hanged and that he had hoped to hide this fact from his dad's descendants. The salesman pondered this for a moment. "Just write: 'Father was taking part in a public function when the platform gave way.'"
