He mentioned the death of an acquaintance.
She was upset to hear his family was not insured.
His excuse to his wife was that insurance was too
expensive for them.
She chastised him for not being covered. The
voice-over spokesperson suggested Colonial Penn,
28-dollars a month for him, 22-dollars for her.
They were a handsome couple hired to pitch the TV
viewing audience at large. Having been in advertising
myself years ago, I could see the hype for what it was.
You see, there are no guarantees in life, my friend.
One pays either way as death is the inevitable reality.
I turned the channel to watch Seinfeld. I, uninsured
myself, prefer comedy as a cheaper alternative, and
the cleverly scripted ironic laugh instead.
