Jack's Moron of the
Week Award
A North Carolina man, having bought several expensive cigars, insured
them against... get this... fire. After he had smoked them, he then
decided that he had a claim against the insurance company and filed.
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the
man had consumed the cigar normally. The man sued. The judge
stated that since the company had insured the cigars against fire, they
were obligated to pay. After the man accepted payment for his claim,
the insurance company then had the man arrested . . . for arson.
