Todd,

No...but it's one of many. Though I'm a broker now, my specialty is being a loss prevention specialist. One thing is for sure, almost all losses can be prevented when they have something to do with human behavior. My favorite is when people have a grease fire in a pan on the stove and for some odd reason they think carrying the pan out one of the doors is a good idea. Of course as the pan moves back and forth while being moved, grease and fire goes over the sides and there's a burn trail all the way, not to mention the person who carries the pan usually gets injured in the process too. There are three ways to put out the fire, A. a lid, B. baking soda, C. a fire extinguisher. Oh, one should turn off the burner first!

But every now and then there's something odd that happens, such as a time when a 3 star general told me he was driving down a road behind a van and suddenly the van doors opened and two aliens with a ray gun shot at him so he crashed.

My job may not be fun, but curious is always high on the list.
