Tom Poje Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I was going to ask "Why would anybody want to become an actuary when they grow up?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Tom, I think the answer is found near the end of this link http://www.glondon.co.za/humour.htm ... something about accounting ... or maybe it's just that: Old actuaries never die - they just get broken down by age and sex.

12AX7 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Janet got it. She wins a large case of satisfaction. We'll have to work on a punchline for Tom's joke... Actuary recognition is getting a workout on the Identity Guard® commercials I'm hearing lately on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Poje Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sam Cooke, in his song "What a Wonderful World" explained that to me a few years ago. (If so desired, the 'mid' file is attached, but you have to rename it from xls to mid and then you can sing along) Don’t know much about this DB There’s a funding de-fi-cien-cy And I know that they are on the hook I-R-S wants to take a look And I do know that the dollars are few And the contribution’s overdue What a terrible plan this DB Don’t know much about ac-tu-ar-ies No sense of humor, no per-so-nal-i-ties Let us cut it quickly to the core Everyone knows they are a bore They will tell you one and one is three Or whatever you want it to be What a strange world this ac-tu-ar-y Now I know, I’m not an “A” student [“A” for actuary of course!] I’m not trying to be For maybe by being an ac-tu-ar-y No one would understand me? Don’t know much about P-B-G-C Supposedly it’s a guar-an-tee Then the rules changed under P-P-A Even more confusion to this day So let’s eliminate them two by two For if actuaries were a few What a wonderful world it would be.

Tom Poje Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 don't have to speak this year, so I'm going to be a no-show. probably won't even be missed. you'll have to save your tomatoes for another occasion (or use them on someone else).

rcline46 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Well, I for one will miss you Tom. I'm a thinkin' this might be my last, don't think the company will continue paying for an old geezer to go, send someone younger. Plus I get plenty of credits elsewhere.

12AX7 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'll miss you Tom. We had some good chats during the conference. This could be my last time in attendance as well. I may retire or semi-retire in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Poje Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 don't know what the vendors will do without (g)Reed picking up the last of the giveaway items (nor for that matter how the rest of his office could handle it if he doesn't go and return with the goods). I ended up speaking at the NIPA conference this year so I earned my credits for the yaer I'd agree, the chance to sit and swap a few ideas and share some info is always missed. still have the links here. funny, the one year a new song or two hasn't popped into my head and I don't have to speak at ASPPA. But it has given me time to throw all the songs into one powerpoint. I'll make the people suffer at our Christmas party. gotten out of hand. 14 songs, almost 45 minutes.
