Back in 1972, my staff manager and I had an interview with a man and his very pregnant wife.. He was a big guy about 6"3", 220lb.. I had just bought an Elba machine and we had it in the house (a 10 wide mobile home) along with all our other material.. When we tried to close, the man said, "I ain't gonna leave her a bunch of money so she can marry some SOB when I am gone".. My little 5"7", 130lb manager drew himself up to his full height and said, "If you leave her enough money she won't have to marry one the NEXT TIME." I am thinking,"Man, how I am going to get all this stuff packed up and get out of here before the fight starts."He's probably the same dunce who tells his wife, "Just throw me off in a ditch somewhere, I won't know the difference!" or decides that he "ain't leavin' nothin' behind for some other man to spend..."
That second line is similar to what my father-in-law said when I first got in the insurance business. Said it in front of his wife and my wife (his daughter). My wife's been plenty mad with me before, but I've never seen her quite as angry as she was with him that day!
