Permanent Assurance Company

The Permanent Assurance Company is a fictional company in the 1983 Monty Python short film, The Crimson Permanent Assurance, which appears just before the start of the Monty Python film, The Meaning of Life. A staid British accountancy firm, The Permanent Assurance Company is taken over by The Very Big Corporation of America. The elderly office workers who staff the firm rebel against their corporate masters and become pirates, "sailing" The Permanent Assurance Company's ancient building through various business districts and plundering other companies' skyscrapers.
