Unfortunately, obtaining his license didn’t instantly equate to insurance companies wanting to take a chance on the young agent representing their company. Eventually, State Auto Insurance company decided to give him a chance. Armed with that opportunity, Greer would make the most of it and never Greer, in 2017, with MCHS boys basketball coach Jason Tripure, presenting a Resolution he passed in honor of the Greenwaves reaching the KHSAA Sweet Sixteen.

Whether it has been representing the citizens of Meade County in their times of insurance needs, 13 years on the Meade County School Board or in Frankfort as a State Representative, Jeff Greer has spent a lifetime dedicated to serving, protecting and loving this county and the people who reside in it. So, it is no wonder that for three decades many Meade Countians have turned to Greer Insurance for protection, providing their home, auto and casualty needs.

Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on the rear end by a rattlesnake.

“I’ll go into town for a doctor,” the other says.

He runs ten miles to a small town and finds the only doctor delivering a baby.

“I can’t leave,” the doctor says. “But here’s what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground.”

The guy runs back to his friend, who is in agony.

“What did the doctor say?” the victim cries.

“He says you’re gonna die.”

parasites,” said Benham. “It was interesting.”

Benham says that his favorite aspect of the work is interacting with the clientele, and the COVID-19 pandemic has all but eliminated that part of the job.

“The animals are fine and most of the pets are very pleasant,” said Benham, “but I like interacting with and building rapport with the clientele.”

Cornerstone primarily sees small animals and some small, pocket pets, such as gerbils, chinchillas, turtles, hamsters and other small animals. Though not set up to see cattle on site, Benham says that they can accommodate a gentle horse. Snakes, however, are not his favorite.

“Personally, I just have a hesitation, a very strong hesitation, for dealing with snakes,” Benham said.

“Reptiles in general I don’t mind, if they’ve got legs.

But, honestly, I have a phobia with snakes, and I’m not going to fight that phobia.”

Benham says that he and his staff try to be as sincere and as truthful as possible with clientele.

Cornerstone, when needed, will refer patients to other entities if they are more equipped to handle the customer’s needs.

“We don’t try to keep them here and waste time and their money,” said Benham. “We’ve always tried to work with specialists and will continue to do that.

If it’s a service that we can provide, but we’re unsure of the technicalities, I’ve been known to call the specialist, and they’re really good about advising me and guiding me through. We’ll do what we can for the public, but if it’s something we’re really not qualified for, we will tell the customer and send them where we feel like they need to go for their service, and some clinics don’t do that.”

I saw my neighbor carrying bags of shopping up to his apartment.

Impressed, I offered him a hand.

He wasn’t thrilled with my applause.

Skin That Bear Two men went bear hunting.

While one stayed in the cabin, the other went out looking for a bear.

He soon found a huge bear, shot at it but only wounded it.

The enraged bear charged toward him, he dropped his rifle and started running for the cabin as fast as he could. He ran pretty fast but the bear was just a little faster and gained on him with every step.

Just as he reached the open cabin door, he tripped and fell flat. Too close behind to stop, the bear tripped over him and went rolling into the cabin.

The man jumped up, closed the cabin door and yelled to his friend inside, “You skin this one while I go and get another!”
