Humor for Writers – Literary Agent’s Life Insurance

Mike and Janine, an elderly couple, are sitting together on an aeroplane flying to the Far East. Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning, and this plane will be going down in a few minutes time. The good news is that I can see an island below us that should be able to accommodate our landing. The bad news is that this island appears to be uncharted – I am unable to find it on our maps. So the odds are that we will never be rescued and will have to live on the island for a very long time, if not for the rest of our lives.”
Mike turns to Janine and asks, “Janine, dear, did we turn off the oven?” and Janine replies, “Of course.”
“Janine, are our life insurance policies paid up?”
“Of course.”
“Janine, did we send the royalty checks to our authors?”
“Oh my God, I forgot to send off the cheques.”
“Thank Heaven! They’ll find us for sure!!”
