Just got off the phone with my car insurance agent. Omigod. [View all]

He was coughing, wheezing.

"I think I might have that crap", he told me.

Me: "GET YOURSELF TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM."

He: "Good news is that State Farm is rebating some money because of low auto usage."

Me: "Who cares. You could barely get that out. GET YOURSELF TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM."

He: "I think I'll call my doctor right now."

Me: "We're wasting time."

And I hung up.
