Welcome to Ray Flatt's Weekly BubbaGram ------ Last week's request for potential stories produced a few good ones, this one in partical got my attention (not meant to convey any political message): ------ Bubba's son Junior join the military. He was fortunate and was not shipped across seas. His first military assignment was to a military induction center, and, because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about the government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled. Before long the Captain in charge of the induction center began noticing that Junior was getting a 99 percent sign-up for the top GI insurance. This was odd, because it would cost these poor inductees nearly $30.00 per month more for their higher coverage than what the government was already granting. The Captain decided that he would sit in the back of the room and observe Junior's sales pitch. Junior stood up before his latest group of inductees and stated, "If you have the normal GI insurance and go to Iraq and are killed, the government pays your beneficiary $6,000." "If you take out the supplemental GI insurance. which will cost you an additional $30.00 per month, the government pays your beneficiary $200,000." "Now," Jnnior concluded, "which bunch do you think they're gonna send into combat first?" Moral: Either donāt buy insurance form a slick talking country boy or please donāt make quick decisions out of fear, chances are youāre not working with all or even correct information. PS: Regardless of your political opinions of the current war, please take a moment and say a pray for our soldiers serving in the military. Itās better than any insurance policy we can buy. ------- If you got this eMail in error or would not like any future Bubba Grams (story on a weekly basis)...just send it back with the words UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject.
