Have Bought Flood Insurance

  1. That 25-pound carp in your boxer shorts.

  5. Kevin Costner spotted scouting locations nearby.

  6. The electric shock from your vibrator wasn’t quite as erotic as you thought it would be.

  7. That noise downstairs? Your Barcalounger bumping against the ceiling.

  8. Your goldfish now gets his own food from the pantry.

  9. That neighbor with the new boat wants to know if you happen to have a spare mated pair of lemurs.

  10. Screw the spa — you’ve got a soothing mud bath in the family room.
