MR. WATSON: Where does
your grandpa live?
STUDENT: In the ground.
MR. WATSON: Well, there's
a bad example!
(Laughter.)
MR. WATSON: So I'm sorry
about your Grandpa. How about your Grandma?
STUDENT: Deceased.
MR. WATSON: Do you know any old people who are still alive?
(Laughter.)
STUDENT: Yeah.
MR. WATSON: Where do they
live?
STUDENT: Uncle in Alabama.
MR. WATSON: How old is
he?
STUDENT: 78.
MR. WATSON: He's probably
old enough to have one of these things. Someone up in the hills, Grandma or
Grandpa, or an Uncle in Alabama
buy just enough insurance to bury them. Does that make sense? Industrial
policies characterized by a small death benefit, less than $3,000 usually,
collected by the agents on a weekly basis.
Then there are ordinary
policies. How are ordinary policies paid?
STUDENT: Any other
way.
MR. WATSON: Who said
that? Say it again.
STUDENT: Any other way.
MR. WATSON: Industrial
is paid how?
STUDENTS: Weekly.
MR. WATSON: Ordinary
is paid how?
STUDENTS: Any other
way: annually,
semi-annually, quarterly.
MR.
WATSON: Industrial is paid how?
STUDENTS: Weekly.
MR.
WATSON: Ordinary is paid how?
STUDENTS: Any other way.
MR.WATSON: Guys, I'm a
movie star. What kind of policy do I have? Ordinary. You think a movie
star is going to have an agent come by every Thursday?
STUDENT: Might.
MR. WATSON: Doubt it!
MR. WATSON: Anything
other than weekly is what?
STUDENTS: Ordinary.
MR. WATSON: What kind of
policy will you be buying?
STUDENTS: Ordinary.
MR. WATSON: Because why?
STUDENT: I'm not letting
you come to my house.
(Laughter.)
MR. WATSON: I don't blame
you. You understand?
STUDENTS: Yes.
