M: Janice, how much do you pay for insurance?
W: Which kind? I have many kinds of insurance. There’s car insurance, home insurance, life insurance…
M: Uh, car insurance.
W: Let me see…I pay $100 a month.
M: Wow, that’s cheap! I pay twice that much!
W: Well, there are a couple of good reasons for that. For one, men always cost more to insure than women.
M: What? How can you say that?
W: Well, if you look at the number of car accidents in the U.S. that cost insurance companies a lot of money, most of them are caused by men.
M: You’re saying that I’m paying too much money because what other guys are doing wrong?
W: Exactly!
M: But I’m a great driver.
W: Really? How many accidents have you been in this past year?
M: I don’t know…three or four, I guess. But only one of them was my fault…OK, maybe two of them.
W: Right…do you know how many I’ve been in over that same period?
M: Let me guess - zero?
W: Bingo!
M: So, that’s the real reason why your insurance is so low…you don’t drive enough!
W: I think you missed the point….
