Dave,

I don't think that is completely correct. We don't know how much the
payments are for a man 80 years old are?

Early in my career, I actually took a couple of the
actuarial exams. With
insurance, you're always betting with the insurance
company that you're
going to die soon. Regardless of how much the payment are,
the insurance
company won't make the bet if the odds are against it.

BRILLIANT ! did you figure that out all by yourself, Dave?

Hardly.

The bit about the actuarial exams was "Merely
corroborative detail, intended
to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and
unconvincing
narrative."

Well, OK then.

BTW, my Son is an actuary.
