I Nearly Suffocated Today!

When I woke up his morning in my Garanimals, there were seven pillows over my head, a sock was lodged in my mouth, and the blanket somehow had my hands knotted behind my back. The sheet was coiled tightly around my neck and I could barely breathe. I must have had quite the nightmare, or something. I finally freed myself, and while gasping for air, I looked up and saw gleeful grins turn to scowled disappointment on the faces of my family. They must have been happy to see me alive and then felt sad they almost lost me. I'm sure glad my family had me up my life insurance to $5 million last week – this was a close call. Wow, I'm a lucky fellow! Imagine being wanted so much.

If you up your insurance another $5 million, Russ, I will personally stand guard duty while you sleep to make sure accidents like that never happen again!

@RussTeed Of course you can, Russ! Just don't forget to add me onto your life insurance policy! After all, I am not even asking you to pay me to protect you from things like that happening!

Now that you have told us how much your family would get if you are gone, you are certainly on my hit list.

Are you sure you only want $5 million in life insurance? Why not $10 million? Also, that light switch in the garage needs replacing...don't worry, I made sure the electricity is off. ;)

Life insurance is the strangest kind of gambling. In order to win the prize you have to die. I think your family was trying to make you feel like a winner.
