I’m not much of a Twitter-guy.  But I saw something on the social media site a couple of weeks back that was kinda neat.  It was called #DateYourselfIn5Words.  It was just like it sounded.  People posted five words that gave a clue as to their age.    

Here are a few of my favorites:

• The smell of a mimeograph

• Please be kind and rewind

• TV test pattern after midnight

So I thought about it myself.  And, as I am wont to do, did so insurance coverage style.  I came up with this: New trigger decision faxed around

Then I wondered how others would respond to it - also insurance coverage style.  So I reached out to some prominent coverage lawyers, who have been around long enough, that I knew they’d have clever responses.  And, not surprisingly, this gang did not disappoint.  Here’s what they came up with.
