You know the point of Insurance is to not pay out, just collect premiums... ** -- UTPr0sim 10/17/2019 12:30PM

I'd tell her to move her washer out of the road if it's getting run over. ** -- Hokie360 10/17/2019 12:27PM

I'll be sure to tell her:) ** -- AZHokie59 10/17/2019 12:30PM

How mad will you be when you find out the insurance company -- HokieSignGuy 10/17/2019 11:18AM

Insurance is for chumps. Pay off your house then roll the dice. ** -- Coach McGuirk 10/17/2019 10:56AM

Sounds like they were in "the historic district" in Key West. -- Coach McGuirk 10/17/2019 11:27AM

Actually they were up the Keys a few miles -- EDGEMAN 10/17/2019 11:29AM
