What are the chances of coming home from work only to find your home along with everything you own up in smoke from a jet plane crashing into it? What would you say to your insurance agent? And how would the phone call go?
Ring...ring...ring... "Hello Aetna insurance may I help you?"
"Ah ya um, a plane just crashed into my house, am I covered?"
"A plane huh? That's a terrible thing to have happened. What type of plane?"
"An F-18 jet fighter...the house is totally gone!"
"Well let me bring up your policy and...
I see your covered if a piper cub crashed into it
but I don't see anywhere that your covered if a military plane...
could you hold on for a minute while I check further?"
MUSIC ON THE LINE, (Up up and away by the Fifth Demension)
"Thanks for waiting...
it seems that your covered if the plane crashed
during a hurricane and the Santa Anna winds
but not during nice weather"
"But my house is gone"
"You built that house next to a military base
knowing the chances of this occurring were at a
much greater level than say if you lived in the dessert".
"But my house is gone".
"Oh and by the way we have to cancel your insurance policy
because you seem to be a risky policy holder".
"BUT MY HOUSE IS GONE!"
"Maybe you can call Congress and they can bail you out"
