Would you take out a lot of insurance?

yes

no
it would eat up too many of the few hours i have left

Would you take out a lot of insurance?
It depends on if my partner would be able to actually collect on it, and also on how I'd die. Most deaths I can foresee myself having are by my own hand, and would that invalidate the insurance?

however if my HUSBAND were going to die tomorrow, i would get as much insurance as was humanly possible with the few hours he had left.

Well you die because you get eaten by a giant bear that eats your legs and then you die because you have no legs.

But what if there were no hours?

Would you take out a lot of insurance?

Nope. To be perfectly honest I don't care about what happens after I'm gone.

Firstly, I'd use all the money I had to try and prolong or prevent the oncoming death, or if that proved a dead-end (no pun intended), I would use all of my financial clout to live the most gluttonous, indulgent last day I possibly could.

But what if you were stuck under a bear and all you could do was talk on the telephone to your insurance man. And he "didn't want to hear about it"?

If by "Take out a lot of insurance" you mean, "Use that money as the down payment on a Dodge Viper" then yes I would.

Stuck under a bear? I thought the question was "if you knew you would die tomorrow". If a bear was going to take 24 hours to kill me, I'd probably be able to escape its slothful clutches.

I would take out a lot of insurance, kill some people I don't like, such as bin Laden, and feed my cat loads of treats.

Would you take out a lot of insurance?

No I would not. I would sit down and write letters to those closest to me telling them how much I love them and every single good thing that I think of them and give words of inspiration. :)

I would sit down and write letters to each person closest to me sharing my feelings with them telling them how much I love them and how they are special to me. I would also give words of inspiration to them. :)

If I may ask... what is this fixation you have with bears?

explain partner. ina tg if you like. you know the questions i am going to ask.

No, I don't know what the question you're going to ask is...

I would sleep with as many women as physically possible.

I would sleep with as many women as physically possible.

I think I would make a list of people I thought were bad, and arrange the list from "most evil" to "mildly annoying". Then I would hunt them down.

Good thing I'm not terminally ill...

Order a pizza and watch TV.

I would get rid of anything in my house that I wouldn't want my family to find - when they are sorting through my stuff.

Was this a jab at me?

No, we all know you would be trying to locate Aerou for your last day on Earth - and for something nice.

Me, I've met too many bad people who just keep living despite the fact that they ruin peoples' lives on a daily basis.

Well, life insurance takes 1 year to come into effect, so... no I wouldn't. With that fact, nobody else should either.

I would kill a drifter to get an erection (like I do everyday).

Well, first I would make sure that I had everyone in my family, my friends and lovers knew that I truly loved them, and cared for them deeply. That would be the most important. After that had been accomplished I would live my last day like I was Al Pacino in 'Scent of a Woman' (I feel theres no need to give the details since everyone has likely seen this). And regardless of having sex, since Ive had my fair share already, I would want to die in the arms of a beautiful woman with a smile on my face and a not even the slightest trace of a tear in my eye. Just before I faded away, Id look at her Id smile at her with my eyes as sharp as a falcons, Id kiss her on the forehead (to say goodbye since words would be muted by emotion), Id flash her a little wink and hold her as tight as my dying arms would allow. There could be no better way to go, to live one last time before dying. :)

(yeah I know, Im a pathetic sap - it can't be helped)

I guess you're trying to top my pizza and TV idea. :)

Pretty hard to top that - but if its going to be pizza and tv - you better have a nice cold bottle of Zwiec, or Stella perhaps. :p

Actually I think I might be inclined to do a little killing in that circumstance too. Although you'd have a hard time explaining yourself if it turned out you weren't set to die after all...

Sold! Going to die tomorrow so why not fill up on as much junk food as possible! Jalepeno poppers would be a nice addition for myself too.

I find it entirely ironic that no matter how much life insurance one takes out, it fails entirely to insure the very thing it says it does...

LIFE!

There are some people who i'd shoot.

sounds like an addition to the oxymoron thread :)

Yeah. I think it would be nice if Mom could pay off her debts and have some money to actually retire when the time comes, so she won't have to work when she's old and grey.

I would sleep with as many women as physically possible.
i just saw this.

Yup. Spend the house on insurance. Though they might find it very fishy.


My last few hours? PUmp full tank into my car and cruise down the interstate highways at top speed.

Either than that.. Probably spend my last meal eating the most tastiest oiliest heart stopping meals.

HELL yeah! :D

I'd take the money I have saved up and go to London. And then give away whatever money I had left over and wander around enjoying accents.

Because I'm completely insane, I think.

I'd probably go steal a porsche 911 RS....one of the old ones. Drive the hell out of it, and then crash it. Also, I'd finally admit to my best friend how I feel about her.

If you're terminal, then I don't think sanity is necessarily your top consideration. :p

Quiet you :p

I'm too sleepy to worry about minor matters like 'comments making sense in context'.

^.^

... I would probably start doing bad stuff and spend my last night in a police station :(
