Irish Fire Insurance
A man and his wife moved back home to Cork from London.
The wife had a wooden leg and to insure it in Britain it cost £200.00 a year.
When they arrived in Cork they went to an Insurance agency to see how much it would cost to insure the wooden leg.
The agent looked it up on a computer and said to the couple, “£39.00.”
The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in Ireland to insure, because it cost him £200.00 in England.
The agent turned his computer screen around to the couple and said, Well, here it is on the screen, it says:
Any wooden structure, with a sprinkler system over it, is “£39.00.”
