If after examining the bill
carefully, you feel satisfied that all the
amounts are lined up neatly on the right-hand
side, you should submit it to your insurance
company, which will, without even looking at it,
send it back to you with a testy note telling
you that you filled out the forms all wrong,
This will give you time to sell your house and
children to raise the cash you’ll need for
when you finally get everything filled out right
and the insurance company notifies you that the
only thing you’re actually covered for is
60 percent of the Dixie cup.
