Death insurance scam

Father O’Riely and father O’Brien

Father O’Brien!?

Yes father O’Riely?

Did Jesus take out medical insurance!?

because if he did, Mary could have cashed in and made herself a rich woman.

O don’t be so stupid, father O’Riely, don’t you remember your bible!

Insurance companies didn’t exist in the days of our lord and besides, they would have never forked out money on a man who was claiming that he was going to be resurrected. My god father, if they forked out money on that sort of thing, why every one would be cashing in on the scam.
