It’s always complex when you dive into the details, but generally as an insurer I want the policy language to be as ridiculously clear and specific as possible.

I always hoped I’d live long enough to see Hudson lecture Limey on insurance matters.

Limey needs to hit back with some dinosaur petroleum facts.

Whereabouts?
I want to say she’s in Hendersonville, but I’m not positive. My uncle lives in Statesville, and everyone is fine there (it’s a mess, but everyone is ok)
Just catching up on the zingers, but everyone knows that oil didn’t come from dinosaurs…right?
Their tiny little arms weren’t long enough to reach the valves.

Circling back to this, in addition to FEMA the Small Business Association often has disaster relief programs for these situations. They certainly did after Harvey.

Not even Sinclair. Most oil was formed during the Cenozoic era, around the same time as dinosaurs, but oil is a product of marine anaerobic decomposition of plant and algal matter. Terrestrial vertebrates really didn’t contribute. I always loved that logo, however.

When I was a child the local Sinclair station gave away a bar of green dinosaur soap with every fill-up. I bet you’re going to try to tell me that soap wasn’t made with dinosaur fat.

I never got the bar of soap. The logo that terrified me as a little kid was the Sunoco shield. There was a Sunoco station near my grandmother’s house, and I was just sure if we ever stopped there, I’d get attacked by who knows what and end up with an arrow right through the heart.

I used to do the insurance program for Sunoco back in the 90s. It was an interesting insurance challenge because they owned a couple of giant refineries in Philadelphia that were so old that the city had all-but engulfed them with housing. And did I mention that they were old?
The really interesting part, though, was that the Sunoco risk manager was a non-drinking religious zealot while the account executive in NY used to send bizarre porn clips through the company email and had an oft-used pantheon of jokes that would make Hitler blush.
For our part, my then-boss headed up the Houston account team and, as I may have mentioned before, has the look, voice and personality of Vinnie Jones’ character in EuroTrip, right down to being a rabid Man Utd fan despite having been born and bred in Notting Hill.
Account meetings and marketing trips were a cross between the UN and a frat party at the Delta house.
Thanks for than “explanation”, but I believe I’ll keep getting my information from more reliable sources thank you very much.
