Transcript:
While Santa re-packed the presents, I went to the cabin to see if my emahgency rescue system sahvived the crash... Luckily, I had it installed far just this kind of event. Eddie: So fat, so good. Flo: Ok, hold on... ...You installed a system in case a whale flings yawn boat up and it crashes into Santa Claus? Eddie: A-yeh. It seemed mahr likely than a whole life insurance policy evah payin' off. Joe: Ok, now it's making sense.

I admit I don’t know much about New England accents, but wouldn’t it be “eh-yuh” instead of “a-yeh”?

You can’t argue with success…..

Besides, it wouldn’t have to necessarily be a whale that flings him up there…….It could be a water spout, it could be a water sprite, it could be a watering hole, it could be something silly…..
Varnes almost 11 years ago
That’s right…..A watering hole in the sky…. Deal with it….Where do you think water comes from, anyway?

Another thing more likely than a whole life insurance policy paying off is the possibility of rolling over in your sleep and waking up the next morning with the toothfairy lying crushed under your whale-like belly…

Wait a minute. Ya mean there is something that makes sense with Eddie’s stories? Da assault on da implausible. You’s think this was some comic book story and not a media news release story. Haven’t you ever viewed most media stories? Now they are fantasy……

Eddie’s logic is making a shocking amount of sense. And I don’t even drink! Maybe I should start…

@WileyI’m sure you’re probably old enough to remember one of the finest examples of a true Maine humorist, Marshall Dodge. Back in my college days in Vermont,( yeah, right after the Civil War ), I think I knew every Bert and I routine by heart – and still remember a couple.

Clearly, you are confused about types of life insurance. ‘Whole life’ ALWAYS pays off – to somebody. That’s why it’s called whole – it lasts for your WHOLE life. It’s ‘term’ that’s unlikely to pay out. as typically, the insured person outlives the term (period) of the policy!
