Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Considering the speed with which insurance management moves, I wouldn't be surprised if they approved things before realizing the coverage had ended.

Yeah, but the payments have cleared, so if Humana dropped us, they didn't give any notice to either us or to Tim's work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As a cost-cutting measure, on Jan. 1st Humana laid off all their claims processors and replaced them with squirrels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If they are taking your money and approving your claims, it seems safe to assume that you are, in fact, insured!

A brief warning about the dangers of abbreviations: Someone just sent around a template for landscape analysis that is titled "land anal." Yeah, no.

All too plausible, tommyrot.

Those both sound great, Tep!

Donald Trump has to be some sort of performance art project, doesn't he? Nobody could just spontaneously be so ... that, could they?

I would think so, except for the part where today they said that no, both Tim and I had our policies terminated after November 30. Someone at Humana has gotten into the bad LSD. I think it's the claims-processing squirrels.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I feel like there is a one if by land and two if by sea joke in there, but I can't quite get it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know Zenkitty has mentioned this before, but there are several scientific journals where the official abbreviation does contain "Anal." And depending on your citation style, you use those abbreviations a lot.

For example: [link]

Don't eat the brown acid, squirrels! How many times do we have to tell you?

Medical editing can be boring, so when those citations show up, it's comedy GOLD.
