Talking To An Insurance Agent...

I was on my way back home from work one day when I was stopped at the bus interchange. A gorgeous babe stopped me. I've seen her. This ain't the first time she tried. She is always trying to stop me, probably because I was in uniform and stands out from the crowd (Who the fuck would wear all green and walk around Boon Lay bus interchange except NSFs?). Anyway, I decided to listen to what she had to say today.

Stella, as she introduced herself, is an insurance agent. She's trying to get me to buy some crap insurance and she was introducing it. I didn't pay too much attention to her because I was trying to peer into her low-cut blouse. Anyway, I snapped outta that when the thing above her breasts started asking me questions.

"So how do I address you?"

"Reeve," I told her breasts.

"Nice to meet you, Reeve."

"Nice to meet you too," I answered, kinda irritated by the voice coming outta where I wasn't focusing. If you know how it feels to try to listen to good music and end up hearing repair works carried out by your neighbour above, you'll know my frustrations.

"So Reeve, do you have any insurance?"

Extremely annoyed, I decided to peel my eyes off her bosoms and focus on her face so that I can try to make her shut up fast.

"I have an education insurance."

"How about life insurance?"

Are you a retard or something? Which part of 'education' sounded like 'life'?

"No, I don't. I believe I don't need it yet and I'm not financially independent enough to get one"

"Oh no, you'll need one because you don't know what's going to happen to you and..."

"Wait a sec, are you like, cursing me?" I gave her the suspicious look.

"No, no, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying life's full of uncertainty and..."

"So you admit life's not certain so why are you so certain that I'll need that insurance shit? God told you I'll die next week while sitting in the toilet?"

"No, no, it's just an assumption..." she tried to explain frantically.

"So why can't you assume I won't die early and won't need your insurance, at least not at the time being?"

"Erm..." she was in a loss of words. She's panicking and her breathing was hard and fast. I let my eyes revisit her now heaving bosoms.

"So... Are you still interested in my insurance plans...?" she managed to utter. It perplexes me why she's still trying.

"I said just now that I don't think I need one yet and I can't afford it monetarily."

"We do have great offers if you sign up for our policies and as a soldier, I strongly recommend you to take up at least one life insurance," she managed to regain her composure and continue.

"Look, I'm not gonna pay just for some cheap offers. And I'm in the office most of the time. Unless you can convince that hitting the letters F, U, C, K and U on the keyboard has a 99% chance of getting me killed, then I suggest you save your time and not bother me no more."

"Erm... Okay, thank you for your time. Have a nice day. See you again." She gave up.

"Have a nice day to you too," I said my parting words to her Stella Vanilla.

I walked off, feeling like I've accomplished something today.

This didn't happen, but it SHOULD...
