Monday’s Jokes Will Be Posted On Tuesday

Some really great jokes came into my email last week, both verbal and graphics. However, some other issues have priority for today’s post. Thus, I’ll post all of those jokes tomorrow. That goes for my promise to post my answers to yesterday’s post in the comments section today. As folks say in some parts of Kentucky, but not in Louisville: Y’all come back tomorrow, ya hear.

Lexington Airplane Crash

The crash yesterday of Comair 5191 at Lexington’s Bluegrass Field has sent shock waves through Kentucky. With forty-nine of the fifty aboard being killed, grief, sadness, and dismay were what most of us around here felt. Even though I personally only knew of one of the victims, the disaster took up a lot of my time yesterday.

I Am Again an Unemployed Blogger

This morning Liberty National fired D.F. and me, the last two remaining agents in Kentucky—three agents had resigned in the past three weeks. Later in the day I received a phone call from D.A. who had been my team leader. He has now been demoted to agent. Now he is the only agent remaining in the Kentucky agency—and he figures the office will close in a few days or weeks.

The worst part of it is that they are still holding all of my commissions, including those on policies I sold two months ago to state employees, for another 90 days “in case something lapses.” With the two polices I sold last week plus the two the previous week, I should have received at least $800.00 in commission next Friday. That, too, is being held for 90 days. Alex and I could certainly use that money!

Do any of you folks know of a job for an ex-golf course greensman, ex-bartender, ex-army officer, ex-social worker, ex-field officer supervisor, ex-therapist, ex-pastor, ex-division chairperson, ex-non-profit organizer, ex-insurance agent, ex-Association moderator? Oops—I am still the Association moderator, but that's a non-paid position.

I’m not worried: God always provides—even when I don’t realize it.

Before he learned that I am no longer an insurance agent, a close friend emailed me the picture below. We might as well end this post with a laugh!
