An engineer and lawyer meet each other while fishing in the Caribbean.

As he retrieves a cast the lawyer turns to the engineer and says, “I’m here because my house burned down along with everything in it. The insurance company ended up paid for everything.”

“Wow, what a coincidence,” said the engineer. “I’m here because my house and all my stuff was destroyed in a flood. Like yourself, the insurance company paid for everything.”

The lawyer looked puzzled for a second, then cocked his head and asked “How do you start a flood?”

A life insurance agent presented a proposal to a would-be client who wasn’t entirely sold on the idea of life insurance coverage.

After spending a considerable amount of time answering the would-be client’s questions, the clever agent ended the conversation by saying: “Don’t let me frighten you into buying life insurance coverage. Sleep on it, and if you wake up in the morning, give me a call and we can discuss it further”!

A man walks into an insurance office and asks about a job. Upon hearing that there were no openings he replies “I can sell anything, you can’t afford not to hire me”.

Intrigued buy his confidence, the hiring manager says “We have two prospects that we have not been able to sell. Go see them and get back to us.”

After several hours the sales agent comes back to the office with two large cheques, both of which were for policies over $40,000.

“Did you get urine samples” said the hiring manager. “No” replied the agent. “We require urine samples from anyone who has a life insurance policy worth $40K or more,” explained the manager.

“No problem” replied the agent, who then leaves the office.

After another few hours the sales agent comes back, this time with a large bucket in each hand. “Here you go”, he said, producing two small vials of urine from his shirt pocket.

“That’s great” said the manager. “But what are the two buckets for”?

The agent replies “Well, I was passing by a teacher’s convention, so I went in and sold them a large group policy”!

“It says here you’ve never had an accident?” questioned the agent.

“Never” said the cowboy.

“Not even one accident”? replied the agent.

“I was bitten by a rattlesnake once” said the cowboy.

“You don’t consider that an accident?”, replied the incredulous agent.

“Not at all” said the cowboy. “That rattler bit me on purpose”!

“Is there anything I can do, doctor?”, said the distraught woman.

“Marry an insurance agent”, replied the doctor.

“How will that help me to live longer?” she asked.

“It won’t”, replied the doctor. “But it will make the time you have left seem much longer”!
