As long as Hank is still alive, she'll never admit she's grateful for his sacrifice and planning.

I was hurt he'd only see his worth in dollar signs. Am I glad he has life insurance to help my mom out should he die? Yes. Would I rather have him alive? YES. This commercial makes no sense to me because Mrs. is talking about Hank in the past tense but he's still very much alive, and I'm totally turned off by the way her attitude of gratitude vanishes as soon as he's present, replaced with an attitude of 'aren't he lucky I have a sense of humor about his idiocy?'.RogueFiccerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771057308264812757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-24312713326256485562012-03-10T10:23:21.047-08:002012-03-10T10:23:21.047-08:00Ah.
