As a benefits specialist in the Marines, I traveled around delivering lectures on life insurance.  After listening to a dozen of these talks, the corporal who drove me from base to base insisted he knew my entire spiel by heart.   “Prove it,” I said.  So at the next base the corporal delivered the speech.  As he ended his flawless performance, a Marine asked,   “What do I pay for insurance after I leave the Corps?”   My driver froze.  Was the jig up?  Would ignorance of the facts force him to crumble?  Not my Corporal! “Marine,” he said sternly, as he pointed to me, “That is such a dumb question that I am going to let my driver answer it.”
