More random stuff from my hidden files.
01. Insurance claim
I found a letter from an insurance company claims department about a bill for a procedure in 1998. I don't remember what the procedure was, but it must have been important to the insurer, and they wanted co-pay.
It's a pleasant letter but with a serious undertone.
The amount they were concerned about - one cent!
02. Mensa Hinky Pinky
One of my Mensa puzzle calendars has a puzzle where clues point to a pair of two-syllable rhyming words, the second of which is an animal. For instance: a royal dog is a REGAL BEAGLE. See if you can guess all of those below.
1. Amusing rabbit
2. Urban meower
3. Keyed-up snake
4. Ready-to-reproduce slowpoke
5. Roly-poly Aussie parakeet
6. Ill farm bird
(answers at the end)
03. Old Joke
A young boy was tasked with writing an autobiography for school. He asked his parents to help.
The boy asked, "How was I born?"
Mama said, "The stork brought you."
"How were you and daddy born?"
"The stork."
"And how were grandma and Grandpa born?"
"The stork."
The boy wrote on his school paper: "There hasn't been natural childbirth in my family for three generations."
04. Irritation
Carbon monoxide was leaking somewhere in Lulu's home. Luckily, she was able to get it located and the problem utensil fixed.
I said, "Didn't you have a carbon monoxide detector?"
She said, "I did, but the damn thing wouldn't stop beeping so I threw it away!"
05. Sale!
(From Jack Moss in Readers Digest - RD)
"When Grandpa died, my mother and aunts decided he deserved a new suit for his burial.
Off they went to JC Penney, where a salesman helped them pick out the perfect outfit.
Smiling broadly, the salesman told them, "Today is your lucky day. This suit comes with two pairs of pants!
