From my answering machine:

"Now there's an affordable burial insurance plan that guarantees your acceptance regardless of your health..."

I think most people would want to be pretty dead first.''

Can't sell insurance to a dead man.
Burial insurance may be the first insurance available for human beings. There was even something called newspaper insurance which was burial insurance. Pay by the week. There were burial societies that were prevalent and had fancy names. Also had weekly payment plans. Poor people wanted to make sure there was a least enough money available to bury them. Same old story; you're betting you will die sooner than the insurance company is betting. There is something weird about it being sold via an answering machine. Sounds like a setup for an episode of the Twilight Zone.
