Veggies qualifies.

“Ma’am in the unfortunate event of permanently incapacity or the death of our policy holder, we will do a payout of 46,000. And for your case, ma’am, it will be 53,850 including bonus.”

“Oh.. So it is for vegetables lah.”

“Excuse me? VEGETABLES?!”

“YAH. Vegetable…”

“OH! Vegetable. The medical condition. Yes, you can put it that way, ma’am.”

Frankly, for a split second, I thought this woman was going to spend 53,850 dollars on vegetables and fruits. That would last her a lifetime, and perhaps her great-grandchildren’s generation, too.

I just had to be this serious because I need to figure out each Indian-accented word in 3 milliseconds. And oh, I could soon become a part-time lawyer in advising Will writing. Just when you thought my job doesn’t include:

1. personal Will consultant,
2. IT assistant to policy holders on how to use Internet Explorer,
3. bank consultant in checking (it’s from the word ‘cheque’),  
4. counselor in telling them their money is GONE,
5. letter writing, printing, signing, and enveloping.
6. Facsimile the same document four times to China, successful on the fifth but never able to get a similar response back.
7. History student receiving the lessons on the history of Insurance policies from callers.
8. Fault-taking scapegoat — callers always refer to me as The Governmentand then list an encyclopedia of their grievances. To which, I always say I will feedback. But what I didn’t say was that the feedback would have to wait until I become the Speaker in the Parliament.
