We’ve heard of expensive insurance policies before – Jennifer Lopez and her backside spring to mind most easily. Thing is, they aren’t just limited to famous celebrities or models insuring their arses for millions of dollars. For instance, the man who has just taken out an insurance policy worth £10 million… on his tongue.

He works as a coffee taster for the Costa Coffee chain of stores, so obviously his tongue is pretty much his best asset. The policy values each one of his taste buds at roughly £1000 each, a fair whack to say the very least.

This has me wondering though. What would need to happen in order to claim the full amount? Would he need his tongue to be cut out by undercover agents from Starbucks, out to disarm their competition? Or would a burn from an overly hot drink (like, I dunno, coffee) be enough to claim a few thousand for on account of losing a few tastebuds? The opportunities are limitless!
