The more, the merrier?

Flowers for the dog’s grave?........😕😕😕

Come on, Taylor Swift doesn’t have a dog! 🤪

@Caussat

Just read the contract carefully. There’s a good chance it won’t cover you as the driver of a vehicle. A subtle detail that can make all the difference!

You’re right to remind us to read—and understand—the terms of a contract before signing it. Motorized vehicles, as well as sail-powered ones, are excluded from the coverage. I would’ve considered doing it by bike, but with her husband’s mastiff, I’m passing. 🙂

But for those who already wear both belt and suspenders, nothing, ever, will take away the fear of losing their pants. (Aristippus of Cyrene)

Ah, those ancient Greeks who wore belts and suspenders without pants! They’re still ahead of their time: the parliament just approved a 13-hour workday.

@Attila

That’s not it. I’ll let someone braver explain it to you.

I think part of the misunderstanding comes from a misuse of language in French: the generic name for the small plastic or metal rectangle is *payment card*; it can be a *credit card* or a *debit card*. But good luck explaining that to a stubborn person...
