Singer Insures Chest Hair for Millions - What Would You Insure?
Tom Jones isn’t willing to take any chances his most famous asset. As ridiculous as it sounds, many celebrities have insured their precious parts. Supermodel Heidi Klum, who insured her legs for $2 million, and Bruce Springsteen, who insured his voice for $1 million.
Perhaps you wouldn’t insure any body parts, but if you were to insure something sort of off-the-wall, what would it be and why?
As a blogger, I’m thinking I would probably insure my hands and wrists. One bad case of carpel tunnel and I’d be finished.
Your turn!

Good question!
I had a massive headache a few months ago - quite the worst I’ve every had - and was brought to tears thinking that I’d never be able to work again, because I couldn’t think. Never mind that I couldn’t sit up or open my eyes!
So I’d like to insure against that happening again, please, because it was really scary. I’m so glad I don’t do migraines.
But I don’t like to think about the size of the premiums!

I agree with Lucy, for if my eyes ever went out I wouldn’t be able to blog anyways, or read blogs. Oh and another thing, I guess insuring my computer.

Definitely my eyes - I can’t imagine not being able to see my kids grow up.

The one thing I would insure - my car, my life, my house, my health, as well as my wife’s health and life and my sense of humor.
Oh yeah, I would also like to insure our happiness.

Many models and celebrities do that actually. They have reason and will make them secure in a way, I think. But I’m just an ordinary person, why would I? About your title insuring chest hair, ridiculous.

I’d insure my brain against theft. Without that, I’d be completely lost. The insurance money would come in handy to fill the empty void left in my head by the theft of my brain :-)

It would be nice actually to be able to insure what remains of my eyesight because without that I’d just about cease to function. I’ve gained a new life from the internet and having to use a screen-reader would slow me down so much… :-(

I would have to agree with everyone else…eyes have it! My eyes lately have really been bothering me and my eye site recently seems worse too. Can’t seem to see close up things lately and find myself holding objects further away. I wear contacts too. I’m sure sitting in front of a computer most of the day doesn’t help much.

I have to agree - I’d ensure my eyes!
I guess we all fear being cut out from our blog-addiction ;) but besides, I would be so out of this world without seing my family :)
-question from my dearest husband - if I think the eyes are so important, what good would it do ensuring them anyway? No one will give them back to me
Well he made his point there, but then again, we always fear losing what we love most (don’t love my eyes, but losing the sight of those I love really freakes me out).
Took it deeper than had to, i know
