"You call the fire department. And the first thing they ask you is, "Do you have fire insurance? Which company? Full or partial coverage? What's your policy number?"

Now, it's funny you should say that... Yoe see there is an active group of collectors who collect certain plaques. Many years ago, certain insurance companies did fund fire brigades to put out fires in the buildings that they insured, so a plaque was put on the front of the building so that the brigade would be sure they were fighting the correct fires...

After a while, the brigades were 'nationalised' for the Public Good...

I'm not making this up, you know...
