Proposal for a Safer Roof Design
Brubaker Why don't we build them a roof that won't cave in on their heads?
Rauch That's enough.
Brubaker An insured roof, this time.
Glenn Elwood What do you mean?
Brubaker The collapsed roof isn't covered at all - that's what I mean. But we DO have coverage for thrashing machines, balers, swathers, a tractor...
Rauch Sounds pretty sensible to me to have the things insured. I approved those policies personally.
Brubaker You did more than that: your company sold us the policies. The only trouble with it is: we don't have any of that equipment on our farm. It doesn't exist.
Rauch What you HAVE got Mr. Brubaker is a piss-poor attitude.
