by far
my favorite question
when
purchasing
life insurance
was
‘are you in a rodeo?’
and
i had
to laugh out loud
for
i’m not a fan
of rodeos
i feel for the animals
and have no desire
to be
thrown from anything
to rope anything
to be around clowns
in any capacity
i must
look like
a
rodeo gal.
there are worse things in life than death.
have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Rodeo’s? We get asked our smoking status, guess that whittle out the high riskers, made me chuckle though.

Egads, don’t get me started on insurance companies. Yikes, I could fill a book and have some left over. I buy only the insurance I need and nothing more. I know that sharing the risk is an important idea and helps everyone, but somehow the insurance companies turn that into a gold mine for them. God help us all.

It is s funny, I was at home composing a post about cowboy boots! Seriously, are we on the same wave length or what? smiles and yes, that is rather strange question. Living in Delaware county near the horse harness racing part of the Triple Crown, I am part of a rodeo, in so many ways! I don’t mind it a bit, but won’t admit it on any insurance applications, Beth!!

Beth, this is wonderful! I am so glad I discovered you on Judy’s blog. In Colorado, ins. salesmen ask if you climb mountains or do white water rafting. Asking about being in a rodeo–and then your sympathy with the animals who don’t volunteer to be in rodeos, either–is profound.
Well done.

How far down the list was that question, Beth? No. 3? No. 9? Did they ask you if you were in the circus? Flew a jet? Bungee jumped? Goodness. Are you in the rodeo? That’s what you get for taking your horse to the agent’s office instead of the Silver Subaru this morning, I guess.

They should know that the rodeo is definitely a metaphor for life. Or is life a metaphor for the rodeo?

Are you sure they mean a literal rodeo, or is it enough to be in a metaphorical rodeo, where you’re trying to lasso … I don’t know, herded cats or something?
