Insuring A Wooden Leg

The wife had a wooden leg and to insure it in Britain was £200 a year! They decided not to bother.

Later, they moved to Ireland and they went to an insurance agency to see how much it would cost to insure the wooden leg there. The agent looked it up on the computer and said to the couple, '£39.00.'

The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in Ireland to insure, because it would have cost him £200.00 in England! The agent turned his computer screen to the couple and said, 'Well, here it is on the screen,it says "Any wooden structure, with a sprinkler system over it, is £39.00".
