Most of us will go right on buying insurance for our cars, homes, health, and lives without facing some of the unique “risks” that seem to plague the rich and famous. We, poor bums that we are, even have to manage our relationships without the safe cover of an insurance policy. Actually, there are some variants of divorce coverage floating around out there, but no “break up” polices. Not that that, however, hasn’t been tried, too.
In the 1940s, comedy team Bud Abbott and Lou Costello worried about the prospect of a career-destroying argument, so they bought a five-year, $250,000 insurance policy.
