Monster attacks covered by insurance - for real

I wonder if I can get insurance against being attacked by a yeti.

Why, are you planning in visiting the Himalayas?

No, so maybe the premium would be less.

 

[Desdichado]

I imagine so.

I was wondering if I could get a genuine insurance certificate against death/injury from a yeti attack. I'd have it framed and put on the wall. Would be pretty funny IMO but maybe that's just me.

That'd be a great conversation starter, that's for sure.

You know the word, 'the' in there bugs me alot... What if theirs more than one? How do you prove which one is 'the Loch Ness Monster' and which is simply 'a Loch Ness Monster?'

I mean the youngling might not know any better and attack someone only to be dragged out into deeper wants by mom or dad to get spanked... surely the youngling cannot be considered 'The Loch Ness Monster,' right?

Dude, I'll give you Yeti insurance. Just send me ten bucks a month, and you're golden.

"Unusual risk" my ass.

I know that if I ran an insurance company, I'd offer insurance for almost anything that couldn't possibly happen. What a money-maker!

What a money-maker!

I don't think the contestants are paying for the insurance... Its given to them for being in this race but I do think that the company involved is hope to make some money off the free advertisement that this is getting them.
