The Insurance Call

​
​                                   I had an question regarding dental insurance coverage
                          for our family of seven, including five children.  I phoned
                          my insurance company and punched in my group number
                          as the voice mail requested.  Then I waited.

                                When the insurance lady finally came on the line she
                          apologized for the delay.  She told me that practically all
                          they had done all week was field calls from men requesting
                          to know if the new male potency drug, Viagra, is covered
                          by their insurance.  They were told coverage is denied.

                               "However," she said, "I took one look at the computer
                          screen for your family and decided to take your call first,
                          because I knew you weren't calling about Viagra!"
