I want my money

Larry's barn burned down and his wife, Susan, called the insurance company

Susan spoke to the insurance agent and said, ``We had that barn insured for fifty thousand, and I want my money''

The agent replied, ``Whoa there, just a minute. Insurance doesn't work quite like that. An independent adjuster will assess the value of what was insured, and then we'll provide you with a new barn of similar worth''

There was a long pause, and then Susan replied, ``If that's how it works then I want to cancel the life insurance policy on my husband''
