Good old boy Boudreaux grew up in Louisiana Cajun country. He was not
too bright but he was patriotic, so he joined the Army. His first military
posting was to an induction center, and because he was a good talker they
assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about the government benefits,
especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled.
Before long the Captain in charge of the induction center began
noticing that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign up for the top GI insurance.
This was odd, because it would cost these poor inductees nearly $30 per month
more for their higher coverage than what the government was already granting.
The Captain decided that he would sit in the back of the room and observe
Boudreaux's sales pitch.
Boudreaux stood up before his latest group of inductees and stated,
"If you have da normal GI insurance and go to Iraq and get killed, the
government pays your beneficiary $6,000. If you take out da supplemental GI
insurance, which cost you only $30 a month, the government has to pay your
beneficiary $200,000. "NOW," Boudreaux concluded, "which bunch do you think dey
gonna send to Iraq first?"
