Conversation on another thread involved Tom Jones's chest hair, J-Lo's posterior, (probably) M.C. Hammer's legs, and Mr. Methane's sphincter all being either insured or at least a prospect of insurance involving Lloyd's of London, and it occurred to me that there would just HAVE to be some pretty specific wording for whatever it was to be insured.

Everyone here on NS has something they consider awesome and quite possibly worth insuring. What would yours be, and what special clauses would you include (besides dividends) in the contract, if it were your choice?

With as many people likely to say their wedding tackle, i suggest tact if that comes up, and some really good reason as to why that would get a special clause.

What y'all think?

I promise you I´ll answer you as soon as I can stop laughing.

Well, my livelihood doesn't depend on a specific body part's proper functioning, unless you count the brain, which I rarely need anyway. :p

That said, my fingers are already insured - if I lose 2 or more, I collect $1000. Pretty sweet.

Is this an interpretive dance thing? :p

Is this an interpretive dance thing? :p

No, I´m seriously thinking about it. I guess I would ensure my eyes. They´re pretty and I would´t want to lose them.

Is this part of a general medical claim (not sure about mine - have to look again) or is this having to do with having been a model with Madge for Palmolive? ;)

I actually considered posting my eyes up once ... but i don't think i can beat Kanabia's post about it.

Other than my eyes. I perhaps could ensure my butt. It´s so fashionable to do that nowadays.

I would insure my http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/tweetz/spam3.gif.

The SPAM stealers are everywhere!

On a serious note, I would insure my height. Why? Because I don't want to risk having to look eye-to-eye with everyone around me (to tell the truth this is part joking around and part true).

Plus its the only that I have that attracts the ladies...

If I shrink in height I would demand that everyone cut their feet off so that I can still feel tall. Also, for those who are wondering, I am more then 6 feet tall in a family filled with people who are all average height. Either I'm a freak of nature or a recessive gene has just become dominate in the family.

How about I insure my overall beauty? Or maybe just my pretty face. I've been told I have nice cheekbones. :p

[/modesty ]

To be serious, there is nothing about my person that is worth insuring. I'm not being self-deprecating; I'm being honest. No part of my identity is tied to a body part, nor do any body parts contribute to a particular talent upon which my livelihood depends. So I'll have to be boring and pass.

Edit: for the sake of being fun, I might insure my hair. The men in my life have all been obsessed. Or possibly my eyes, which can be rather prettily done up. Or those cheekbones. ;)

Would you move it Lloyd's, and under what terms? Is this part of a general medical claim (not sure about mine - have to look again) or is this having to do with having been a model with Madge for Palmolive? ;)

Well, Lloyd's is certainly more famous than my insurer, but I'm probably fine with what I have for now. :p It's just a simple "death and dismemberment" policy my employer covers, which happens to pay for fingers. I only read the policy once, when I was a new hire, but I did think it was amusing. :)

Amen to that. Isn't there already an altar in devotion? :p

If I shrink in height I would demand that everyone cut their feet off so that I can still feel tall. Erm, no. I'm 6'1" ... occasionally taller, occasionally shorter (time of day/joints attenuated), and not likely to alter that for anyone. No matter how much spam they steal from me.

No clue. Do they usually? It's a very small benefit at $1000 - kind of a token thing.

How does all our underwear factor in to YOU getting your wingdangdoodle insured?

BECAUSE: if It was somehow lost... *shudder* I'd have to go and buy new underwear... I cannot afford new underwear thankyou very much... I would have just had to spend thousands of dollars on medical expenses, and probably legal bills arising from why I lost my thingamawangmading.. I wouldn't be able to afford $20 for a few pairs of underwear!

I would have Lloyd's insure two things: my boombox, and my family's jewels.

I will insure my lunacy. Should I ever be cured, at least I'll be rich. :)

Not sure, but I think my butt has character and therefore need to be insured.:p

I have a Lloyds of London policy on a few high priced items I have. My regular home owners insurance company won't insure.

Gotta make sure it's thoroughly inspected so everyone's satisfied with the arrangement.

Is the second one a euphemism?

Yes, but i'm considering insuring it first. And it probably, i suspect, is going to need some rigorous, RIGOROUS testing before you get it :p

Well I wouldn't insure my boat. They insured the Titanic, and we all know that sad story. I wouldn't insure any part of my body, especially my chest hair. It would just be a waste of money. So what would I insure? To think of it, nothing. My vehicle and home are already insured and I don't love them so much that I wouldn't mind replacing them if something happened. Oh well

Oys tío, le sacas punta a todo!!:eek:

That's funny.

There should be offers beating down your door. :)

Yeah, there SHOULD be. :p

Also, my significant other has informed me that I should insure my breasts, as he would be very unhappy if anything ever happened to them, and would like to be assured of replacements. What a guy. :p

Tell him he should keep them in good hands!

Id insure NS....

Tell him he should keep them in good hands!

Oh, he does. As often as possible. Often, I have to convince him that they'll be all right on their own for awhile. ;)

kind of hard for me to think of anything worth keeping that any amount of little green pieces of paper would be worth more then, unless maybe it could be guaranteed to earn enough interest i could live off the intrest or something.

even then though, there might not always be such a thing.
so something like the web of life on earth i'd want to have insured IN KIND,
i'm just not too sure how you'd go about doing that either.

it would be nice if there were some way to insure that the self intrests of any powerful nation would never rob anyone in any nation, any other or even itself, of any and all means of survival.

but i really can't think of any other way of doing that, other then to either have a strong world government, or no governments at all stronger then local tribal entities, that it ought to be possible, if neccessary, to walk away from.

I'd insure NS... and I'd have a clause in there that stated I'd have a dividend payed to me every time jolt's forum messed up.

Is there a particular quality other than price for you, for those?

I have a fairly substantial collection of Pre-Columbian artifacts. In fact I have a whole room in the house with display cases. To me some of the items are priceless because of how and where I got them from. In fact two pieces have been borrowed by a museum in Seattle to display. This is why I have them insured for well above a typical homeowners policy thus a Lloyds of London policy.

That wouldn't really be insurance now, would it? :p
