AGENT: I’m sorry sir but once the Hurricane has been named you cannot purchase travel insurance.

CUSTOMER:  Well that’s ridiculous. What’s the difference between a named and an unnamed hurricane?

AGENT: Once a hurricane has got a name, it’s pretty much happening.

CUSTOMER: Well and that’s why I’m trying to get insurance!

AGENT: I’m so sorry sir.  Maybe it’s better to plan your trip another time?

CUSTOMER: The trip is for my son to come home from school.

AGENT: Oh, I’ve got a kid in college too.  You must miss him.

CUSTOMER:  Yeah, it’s pretty weird without him around to aggravate me all the time, lol!

AGENT: (laughs) I hear you on that one! What’s your son’s name by the way?

CUSTOMER: Hurricane

AGENT: You’re kidding me right???!?!?!

CUSTOMER: Nope.

AGENT: Just Hurricane?

CUSTOMER: Just Hurricane.  We knew by the way he was always moving around in the uterus that he was going to wreak crazy havoc on our lives  –  so we figured that Hurricane was the perfect name.  Gives everyone in his path fair warning what is coming their way.

AGENT: Well, I hope your Hurricane doesn’t cross paths with the one coming our way.

CUSTOMER:  Me too. Or else I won’t get to see him – and that would really suck because I adore this kid.

AGENT: Good luck sir. Is there anything else I can help you with?

CUSTOMER: Can you unname that hurricane?

AGENT: Is there anyway you can unname yours??

CUSTOMER:  Point well-taken.  Thanks for your help and have a great day.

AGENT:  My pleasure and you too….
