david rigby Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Once upon a time, on a small island, there lived many people. For days, the weather forecaster announced that a fierce storm was approaching that would hit the small island on October 15 at 12:00 noon. Early that morning, most of the inhabitants left the island, that is, all except for a small group of actuaries. You see, each of those actuaries had determined that it would take exactly 5 minutes to cross the bridge. At 11:55, however, there was a traffic jam at the small bridge. At 12:00, the fierce storm came and swallowed up the actuaries. And then everybody lived happily ever after on time. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
