'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If you can get hold of the actual specifics, you'll see that some digits are worth more than others!
That's what the HR guy said! Or rather, that based on which part was dismembered, you got different amounts of money. Which still cracks me up.
Sadly, that was pretty much the highlight of my day right there. Sigh.
Among the many many forms I was handed today was one about "AD&D" coverage.
You should have asked if the Ad&d coverage is still in effect if you get killed with a +6 Short Sword of Dragon Flame by an dark elf.
I remember loving how they explain over and over that you can only get paid for one dismemberment per limb, i.e., if you get the payout for the hand, you do not get payouts for all five fingers too.
Yeah, 'cuz you might lose your hand to injury, but if the fingers are intact they could attach them to your wrist.
(My brain works weirdly at times, but you all know that....)

At least they pay for the costliest--er--member.

"I'm sorry, we have to refuse your claim."
"But I lost a hand!"
"You might be confusing your policy with our accidental death or dismemberment coverage."
What happens if you lose a finger or two, and then later lose the whole hand? When you get the hand payout, do they subtract what you already got for the fingers?
Actually, it seems to me they should do the deduction, but it'd amuse me if the rules were that specific.
Also, if you lose a bunch of fingers, but then doctors remove a toe or two and use them to replace missing fingers....
Or what happens if you lose a pinkie, but then a top-secret government program gives you a bionic pinkie?
Yeah, 'cuz you might lose your hand to injury, but if the fingers are intact they could attach them to your wrist.
It's sorta like the original ROTJedi Ewok playset. It had that little elevator that you could wind up and down. If you lose the whole playset you technically could still keep the elevator but wouldn't have much use for it.
HA-HA!! BD likes Ewoks!
