Another president taken down by vampires?

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the Insurance Salesman of the Year Dinner.
Tonight we honor one of our own – you know him as Lamar – who has set new standards for insurance salesmanship this year.
Yes, it was Lamar who perfected the “Captive Audience” technique.
He pioneered it on those folks who go swimming in the winter, refusing to let them out of the water without hearing his sales pitch.
He then went on to perfect it by standing under free-fall parachutists. You’ll be happy to know most of his bones have healed nicely.
Without further ado, let us present him with… Excuse me, I’m so sorry, I need to take this urgent phone call from the Home Office…
Uh, Lamar? The Home Office wants me to ask if there’s any chance you actually sold Barack Obama a $500 million life insurance policy against vampires and monsters?
Ah, you did? I see. They also want me to show you this photo, just in on the Reuters wire…

That Lamar, what a smooth talker!
BG: Meet loose women? Does that mean the restraining orderers have been lifted and the staight jackets are off? Where are the loose men? Or did the loose men just get out of prison?
My Lamar’s credentials just keep mounting: freelance pope (almost), fashion guru, art collector, and now, wildly successful insurance entrepeneur. I continue to be dazzled. I trust Lamar made it home safely from Bila’s party in Rio.
Is it me or is that BG’s twin brother in a inspector gagets outfit? HMMMM or was our infamous Lamar is BG’s lost twin at birth ….. now that the photographic evidence suggests white male avg height brn hair glasses much like BG picture.
I’m just saying that maybe why Lamar gets those cherry assignments.
Full marks to Monsieur Gaillard; that’s a crackingly surreal photo – looks like some kind of warped Cold War spy movie.
Mr.Frankestein looks really good…
Good to see Mr. O’Bama meeting with ordinary members of the Public Service.
I bet poor old Joe had to spot him for the doughnuts again.
