I had to go to my insurance agent's yesterday evening to sign the renewal for our workman's comp insurance, which always makes me want to rip my hair out. We've had 22 years of no losses, yet we have to pay thousands of dollars in every year just in case we have a loss; we do get to have a nifty low "EMR" rating, which tells all of our clients that we are really really safe. Really really missing a lot of money, too, damn them.
So I'm sitting there in their board room, signing papers, when my agent, John, digs around in some boxes and puts two coffee mugs in front of me. At first I thought he was offering me coffee, but he was proudly giving me two mugs with their new logo. After giving me said mugs, I had to write out a check for $1626.92. The next time I go, God help me if he pulls out a whole place setting; I'd have to hock the house.

Two mugs? They'd better be gold lined.
