Insurance company claims free publicity with dull list
Lazy journalists were today given a boost when the UK's leading insurer revealed a list of 'wacky' claims that are, without a doubt, made-up to get some free publicity.
Northwich Union & General, the insurers that care, compiled the claims that, apparently, have all been verified and paid out. As if.
Still, it's been a slow news day so here are some of the stupidest:
- 'Whilst waiting at traffic lights an otter opened my bonnet and cracked the big end with a carefully executed swish of his tail. I think it was a 'he', he definitely knew his way round a car engine.'
- 'My car spontaneously burst into flames exactly one week after it took part in a stage hypnotist act.'
- 'The car park attendant advised me that, if I couldn't find a space, I should go to level 7 and re-enact the time-travelling scene from Back to the Future.'
- 'I shat myself and crashed the car to conceal my embarrassment.'
"And they expect us to just re-print all that verbatim do they?" expressed one news editor.
