I think we need to do a spiritual cleansing. Between your car and that bonehead you took up with, you have had more than your share of bad luck. It's time for some good luck.
Good idea, exorcise some demons.

What do we need?
Hey, let's sacrifice Leroy. Couldn't hurt.
Except maybe Leroy.

Anyways, the killing of such a magnificent creature is a sacrifice worthy to redeem Doc's horrible run of lousy luck.

Doc, I need you to get Leroy and take him over to Big Cat Country at the Zoo. Tell Leroy to go jump inside the pen and make noises like a kitty treat. That should complete the cycle.
Whoa, that's nuts. Where did this happen?

I don't work for an insurance company, I work for a financial services company that owns insurance companies among other subsidiary endeavors. I have learned a lot of how it works though, and you sound like the hordes of people who think it is smart to turn in every claim. If you would like for me to do the math on how it would be worse for him in the long run, and how if he were to have another claim in the next six years he runs the risk of being non-renewed, and then having to pay for high risk home insurance, I could do so. Hopefully he has an insurance policy that returns a portion of his premium if he's claim free for a certain of time anyway. If he's not, he should look for a company that does.

But, since you seem to insinuate something about my integrity already, you probably wouldn't listen.

I'd just do the math, and think it over before turning in a theft claim that will probably net you $1,000 now Doc.
I guess you missed the LOL part. I was being facetious and certainly never meant to impugn your integrity. It was a joke. Sorry it didn't play well. :(

Don't worry, bro. It wasn't the kinda cougar you are so fond of.

You should try to take comments here a little less seriously sometimes. Nobody's trying to damage your integrity. :wink:

Wow! I would have freaked, in a good way, if I saw a cougar roaming the streets here. I geek out when I see raccoons.

You might be frightened to hear that your old stomping grounds in StL has had quite a few run-ins with raccoons and opossums lately.

Last year my dog started barking up a tree in my back yard, so I went out to see what it was, and there sits a freaking opossum hissing at my face from 2 feet away. Scared the heck out of me.

There were tons of opossum back in my day. Seriously, all over the place. There were more vacants then and their basements were opossum baby making central.

Raccoons are a new thing though. I never saw one of those.

Here the raccoons are awesome. They are as big as those Malaysian sun bears at the zoo.

I grew up in the sticks, so I've seen more than my fair share of just about every type of animal. But opossums still freak me out. They're like huge rats.

I have no idea where the opossums live during the day around here now. Maybe in the big trees in the park? Not many love pads for them to stay at anymore.

Those are easy to get rid of. A 12 pack and steel toed work boots usually do the trick.
