Where did the story take place?
W: Did I tell you a really funny lawyer story that a friend of mine told me the other day?
M: No.
W: Well, the way it goes is that there’s this lawyer in southern US. He buys a box of really rare and very expensive cigars.
M: Yeah?
W: And because they’ re so expensive, he decides to insure them against fire in things like that.
M: Fair enough.
W: Yes. Except that he smoked his complete collection of these fantastic cigars within a month, and before he’d even made his first payment on the insurance policy. The lawyer filed a claim with the insurance company.
M: You mean he wanted the insurance company to pay him. Why?
W: Well, in his claim, the lawyers stated that the cigars were lost in a series of small fires.
M: How ridiculous.
W: And of course, the insurance company refused to pay since you know they weren’t really lost in a fire—the guy had just smoked them, and then the lawyer sued the insurance company and get this: he won.
M: What?
W: And so the company had to pay the claim.
M: No, you’re kidding.
W: But that’s not all. So the insurance company accepted the decision and wrote the guy a check for $15,000. But here’s the best part. After he cashed the check, the guy was arrested. The insurance company had him charged with 24 counts of arson. And based on his own insurance claim, the lawyer was convicted of deliberately burning his insured property.
M: I don’t believe it.
W: While he was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine. Isn’t that great?
M: Unbelievable.
