Gene Simmons Insured His TONGUE?!

Some celebrities have some amazing "assets" and have specifically decided to insure certain body parts.  Being in the insurance industry for quite some time, I have heard the rumors of J Lo's bum being insured and Mariah Carey's legs, as well.  But were those rumors really true???  Turns out, they are.  And many times it's a sponsor or advertising partner that has put up the cash for these crazy policies.  Here are some of my favorites from the outrageous list.

So What Do You Think This Will Cost Me?

I've been flooded with a slue of submissions lately and some companies are start-ups or fairly new in business.  After my initial meeting with the insured and getting to know their company a bit, the ultimate question is posed: "So what do you think this will cost me?".  If only I had a magic wand!  I would wave that wand and poof, an accurate number would appear.

9/11 is My Generation's Pearl Harbor

Yesterday marked the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.  Pictures, memories and stories came flooding back as I remembered exactly what I was doing, exactly where I was, the morning these unfortunate events happened.  Everyone has their story.  But for me, I was sleeping in my college dorm.  I was in the midst of my collegiate soccer days and our team was scheduled to fly to play an opponent the following day.
