Sisters lose second coming cover
Weeeeeeeeeell, what could this be about? Mysterious, as it is, innit! - But please read on:
quote:
Insurers have withdrawn the cover on their virginity taken out by three sisters in the event of the second coming of Christ.
Essex-based Britishinsurance.com confirmed it had provided the £1m policy, but said it was reviewed on Thursday following complaints.
[...] The cover was meant to pay for the cost of bringing up Christ if one of them conceived immaculately.
