THIS IS THE BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE YEAR,
DECADE, AND PROBABLY THE CENTURY.
A Woodlands, TX. Lawyer purchased a box of
very rare and expensive cigars, and then insured them
against fire, among other things. Within a month,
having smoked his entire stockpile of these great
cigars and without yet having made even his first
premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed
claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars
were lost in a series of small fires. The insurance
company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason
that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal
fashion.
The lawyer sued... and WON! (Stay with me.)
In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed
with the insurance company that the claim was
frivolous.
The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer
"held a policy from the company in which it had
warranted that the cigars were insurable and also
guaranteed that it would insure them against fire,
without defining what is considered to be
unacceptable fire" and was obligated to pay the
claim.
Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal
process, the insurance company accepted the ruling
and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the
rare cigars lost in the "fires".
NOW FOR THE BEST PART... After the lawyer
cashed the check, the insurance company had him
arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!! With his own
insurance claim and testimony from the previous case
being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of
intentionally burning his insured property and was
sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.
This is a true story and was the First Place
winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
ONLY IN AMERICA! NO WONDER THIRD WORLD
COUNTRIES THINK WE'RE NUTS

The Cigar Song
Brad Paisley (ASCAP)
Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em
Chorus
I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a thirty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one
Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames
2nd Chorus
They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one
Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressin' charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson
3rd Chorus
And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one
Yeah, I smoke 'em one by one
Just a myth.
