MSMF Prompt #23: Insurance Salesman
Ding-dong
The woman opened the door to see a short red monkey-like figure and a taller gentleman, both in tacky suits and ties.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
The monkey began hooting loudly, holding up a brochure. The other gentleman cleared his throat and when his companion quieted down, he smiled. "What my companion is trying to say is, we're here from Shuggazoom Insurance and Casualty Company to offer you a wonderful deal on comprehensive automotive, health, property, and life insurance."
The woman cautiously took the brochure from the monkey and looked at the bright cover. "My husband isn't home, he usually makes these decisions..."
"Understandable, but why not let me explain the deal. Then when your husband comes home you can discuss it with him," the gentleman said. His companion jumped up and down, grinning and whooping loudly.
"No, that's all right, I think everything I need is probably here," she said, pointing to the brochure. "Good day...gentlemen." She quickly stepped back and closed the door.
The monkey turned to his companion and made a quizzical sound. The man shook his head. "I'm sorry SPRX-77, maybe this isn't the job for you." The monkey bowed his head. "I'm sure you'll find something that suits you. Why not ask for a transfer to the automotive division? I think I heard there was another monkey there. You did do a great job driving the other day." The monkey smiled and jumped up and down excitedly, nodding his head. "I'll take that as a yes," the man said with a laugh. "I'll see to the transfer as soon as we get back to the office. Come on, let's go."
THE END
