Storyline

Once again, Fester's canon has wrecked the plumbing. The Arthur J. Henson Insurance Agency, subsidiary of Excelso Fidelity Insurance, is outraged by yet another in a series of payouts on the Addams policy, but a clause in the small print enables them to finally cancel it. Fester's allowance is subsequently suspended, so he gets a job - as an insurance salesman for Henson Insurance. It's not hard to guess to whom he sells his first policy, which has the head of the company in an uproar and storming his way to the Addams house to wheedle out of it. Written by statmanjeff

Quotes

[Gomez is out sky diving; Morticia explains]
Morticia Frump Addams: You see, he has this theory - I'm not quite sure that I understand it - but he hopes to prove that if a jumper jumps, using a smaller chute each time, eventually he'll need no chute at all.
Mayor Arthur J. Henson: Well, how far along is he?
Morticia Frump Addams: He said he'd have it figured one, one way or another, by the end of this week.
