High Risk Insurance...The Time Is Right

Our basement was completely flooded about ten days ago. The cleanup was absolute hell. Dealing with our insurance company was even worse. And, as it turns out, not one damn thing is covered.

To commemorate our catastrophic loss, here is Monty Python's Motor Insurance Sketch with a Nude Lady presented without commercial interruption for your enjoyment:
VICAR: It's about this letter you sent me regarding my insurance claim.
DEVIOUS: Well yeah, it's just that we're not as of yet, totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
VICAR: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
DEVIOUS: That's just legal jargon you know.
VICAR: But my car got hit by a lorry while standing in the garage and you refuse to pay my claim.
DEVIOUS: Well, Reverend Morrison in your policy... (Gets up and starts rooting through a filing cabinet. Finds papers in a coat in the cabinet)... in your policy...it states quite clearly that no claim you make will be paid.
VICAR: Oh dear.
DEVIOUS: You plucked for our 'never pay policy' which, uhh, which if you never claim is very worthwhile but you uh had to claim and there it is.
VICAR: Oh, dear.
DEVIOUS: It could be worse. How's the nude lady?
VICAR: Oh, she's fine (cries).
DEVIOUS: Oh, I hate to see a man cry. So, shove off, out of the office now.
(VICAR leaves and pushes a nude lady in a trolley down the corridor)
I have a watery basement and the Reverend Morrison has a nude lady. Blast those crafty Brits!
