According to our friends in Formula One and at Reuters, 2-time F1 Champ Fernando Alonso has just had his thumbs insured for a total of $13.33 million US dollars.  Yep, his first metacarpals.  According to the insurer bank, “Alonso's thumbs are a symbol, as well as being essential for driving a Formula One car, in that they make a sign of victory and show that everything is under control and well protected.” See quote here.

Wow.

So he has them insured not only for their crucial movements on the steering wheel at 200mph, but also because they can raise tall in the air to show all of us how happy he is??

Hmmm, I talk for a living. So why not insure my lips? I can then ensure to make a frowny face at people in public to let them know I'm sad, or even hang my lips wide open to let people know I'm shocked! My lips can be a symbol, too (although not nearly as nice as Angelina Jolie's lips). Seriously!

Remember when J. Lo insured her buttocks? And didn't Tina Turner insure her legs once?

What would you insure on your anatomy? Come on now, be relatively clean, you gutter minds. Obviously everyone would want to insure those parts.

Let's open up a fun discussion about this… Let me know on Facebook or Twitter
