Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
St. Lawrence Agency in Altamonte Springs FL was the first company to begin
offering UFO abduction insurance and they say they’ve paid out at least 2 claims.



According to a former underwriter with Lloyd’s of London, the insurance is normally
purchased by the 'feeble-minded'.

<ya think>

As your St. Lawrence agent I would highly recommend the Anal Intrusion Insurance, which, while reasonably priced, pays triple in case of injury caused by insertion of a probe farther than 24 centimeters. It also covers removal of any remaining trace elements if they should be found.

Sigourney was good in those movies! The scariest part about that one was finding out why the alien didn't kill her. Ack!

I wonder if Shirley MacLaine has sued for being included in a paragraph about the feeble-minded.

The company says that it has paid out at least two claims.[3] The company pays the claimant $1 per year until their death or for 1 million years, whichever comes first.[6] Over 20,000 people have purchased the insurance.[2] The insurance is normally purchased by the "feeble-minded", according to Burgess, a former Lloyd's of London underwriter.[2] Prominent policyholders have included Shirley MacLaine and a Harvard University professor who has written on aliens.[3]
