I enjoyed the contrast between the insurance underwriter and his spiritual wife. You draw out the humor in the couple's relationship. My father was an insurance underwriter, not only for property but for crops. He pursued this work in the days before computers and used manuals with tables to compute risk. He had to maintain a delicate balance between sales and accounting. If he was too cautious, sales suffered. If he took on too much risk, the bottom line suffered. As a child, I never understood what he did. Ah, awards based on statistical excellence rather than reputation. What a concept!

As a veteran of corporate out of town annual events that I don't miss one bit - this was very funny.
