Are You In Good Hands??

By now, I'm sure most of you have seen the Allstate commercials staring Dennis Haysbert (aka President "No BS" Palmer). At the end of each commercial Dennis says, "That's Allstate's Stand!" For the longest time, I thought he was saying, "That's Allstate, Stan!" Who the F@&% is Stan and why is Allstate putting his name in commercials? Reseaching the phenomenon, I found a blog entry on "Shot In The Dark," which was fairly amuzing ...

Things I've Always Wondered About

In that series of Allstate Insurance commercials currently on the TV, why does the actor (the name eludes me; he's like Morgan Freeman Lite, whoever he is) end every spot by saying:

That's Allstate, Stan."

Who is Stan?

And why is Allstate talking to him?

I wonder if someone named Stan ran into Allstate CEO Ed Liddy's car or something.
