You Want To Insure WHAT?


Britishinsurance.com, an online insurer, has withdrawn cover on the virginity of three sisters taken out in the event of a second coming of Christ.

The sisters believe that when Christ comes again, it will be through another virgin birth, rather than the method described in the scriptures. They took out a one million lira policy to cover the cost of raising a baby Jesus... Just in case one of them had an immaculate conception.

Mr Burgess of Britishinsurance.com said: "The people were concerned about having sufficient funds if they immaculately conceived. It was for caring and bringing up the Christ.

"We sometimes get weird requests and this is the weirdest we have had."

The burden of proof rested on the women to verify the virgin birth.

The sisters had the policy since 2000, but after the Catholic church expressed outrage, Britishinsurance.com cancelled the policy and notified the women.

I guess insurance companies don't need much of an excuse to take someone's money, huh?
