Can You Identify?
« on: September 23, 2008, 02:38:35 PM »
You all may be familiar with the Progressive insurance tv commercials.  I just saw one that could have been many of us!

A couple comes up to a checkout/cashier, manned by the Progressive gal.

"Honey, what's this? Motorcycle insurance?  RV insurance?  BOAT insurance?!  We don't have any of those."

Husband looks abashed..."Uh...yes, we do."

Wife looks surprised, cross, consterned.

Progressive gal, "Surprise!"

Ya gotta see it.  How many times has my wife asked, "hey, what's that?"  "Uh...a new (fill in any bike part, accessorry, or tool)..."

My problem isn't spending the money (if I have anything to spend) but rather getting the monthly statements through without her reading them.  ;D

"IF you get that- YOU ARE NOT SELLING IT AT A LOSS LIKE ALL THE OTHERS!

That's about all I hear.  So I've learned to lie about how much I paid and how much the parts cost.
