So this was my conversation yesterday with my new State Farm Agent.

Casper: this is our first time purchasing home insurance in the 17 years of living there.

Agent: huh? wait, you’re serious? If you had it you would be able to add “Life” and then you or your wife would be protected if anything were to happen.

Me: We do not need anymore incentive for either of us to murder one another.
Agent: (laughing, then stopping her laughing when I wasn’t laughing) I thought you were joking.

Me: No

Agent: ahhhh…ok….just no one has ever said that to me

Me: everyone has thought that, they just don’t say it. Have you ever even watched just one episode of Dateline? 9 out of the last 10 episodes for the past two months involved spouses murdering each other to receive the insurance payout.

Agent: ok, we need to rap this up right now, I’ll email you your policy, and tomorrow call us back, when I’m not working, and just pay over the phone with your credit card.
