    A man went to an insurance office to have his life insured. The manager of the office asked him how old his parents were when they died.

    “Mother had a bad heart and died at the age of thirty. Father died of tuberculosis when he was thirty-five.”

    “I am very sorry，”said the manager，“we cannot insure your life as your parents were not healthy.”

    As the man was leaving the office， depressed， he met a clerk， who had overheard the conversation.

    “You must not be so frank and tell the truth，”said the clerk，“no office will insure you if you speak like that. Use your imagination a little.”

    The man went to another office and was shown into the manager's room.

    “Well， young man， how old were your parents when they died？”

    “Mother was ninety-three， and she died from a fall off her bicycle. Father was ninety-eight and he died while he was playing football.”
