A born salesman Ole, the smoothest-talking Norske in the Minnesota National Guard, got called up to active duty. Ole's first assignment was in a military induction center. Because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits, especially the GI life insurance, to which they were entitled. The officer in charge soon noticed that Ole was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance. This was remarkable, because it cost these low-income recruits $30 per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was already providing at no charge. The officer decided he'd sit in the back of the room at the next briefing and observe Ole's sales pitch. Ole stood up before the latest group of inductees and said, "If yoo haf da normal GI insurans an yoo go to Afghanistan an get yourself killed, da governmen pays yer beneficiary $20,000. If yoo take out da supplemental insurans, vich cost you only tirty dollars a mont , den da governmen got ta pay yer beneficiary $200,000!" "Now," Ole concluded, "Vich bunch yoo tink dey gonna send ta Afghanistan first?" | ||

Never thought of it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. Make that a double. | |||

Good joke. Even better because my son is back now from the sandbox. It is not a joke when it is your own child. Never mistake motion for action. | |||
