About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Purnell Insurance Agency with a stack of policy documents. As he stepped out, he noticed something strange: the clock on the agency’s sign seemed to be moving backwards. Curious, he walked inside and found everyone working as usual—except that time seemed to flow differently for them. The receptionist smiled warmly, greeting him like it was any other day. ‘Morning!’ she said cheerfully. Realizing they were living in reverse-time, our delivery guy calmly delivered his papers—and promptly left when everything started playing forward again.’
2. A regular customer walked into Purnell Insurance Agency one day and asked the receptionist, 'Do you know why our premiums are so low?' The receptionist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Actually, there's a little-known tradition here...' The receptionist leaned closer and whispered, ‘We have an unofficial policy of giving away free donuts every Friday.’ A regular customer nodded wisely, smiling, ‘Of course! That’s why my rates are always lower than everyone else’s!’
3. A neighbor stopped by Purnell Insurance Agency one afternoon and asked curiously: ‘Do you guys ever get strange claims?’ The agent smiled knowingly and replied, "Oh yes, once a delivery driver claimed his entire shipment of donuts was lost due to global warming!" The neighbor laughed heartily, shaking his head in amusement as he walked away, thinking, 'Next time I'll just bring my own.'
4. Over the years, customers noticed something peculiar whenever they visited Purnell Insurance Agency during lunchtime. The office PA would suddenly announce, in a deep, booming voice, 'Ladies and gentlemen, your life insurance policy has just been reviewed!' One day, an excited delivery driver burst into the office, shouting, ‘My package is insured for half a million dollars!’ The PA solemnly announced, ‘Sir, congratulations on your new record-breaking package!’ Everyone laughed until they realized it was only a box of donuts.
