I don't know if this is true, but it's almost believeable................ 

BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE YEAR, DECADE AND PROBABLY THE CENTURY.



Charlotte , North Carolina. A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and

expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire.

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 a 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.)

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, 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 lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance

company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his

loss of the cigars lost in the "fires".

NOW FOR THE BEST PART..






After the lawyer cashed the cheque, 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 !

I was talking to a friend down at the pub tonight. His car was all mashed up in the grill and the bonnet was dented. It had grass and stuff all through the hubcaps etc.

I said, "what the hell happened there" and he says, "I just ran over a lawyer. The bastard wouldn't stop running and I had to chase him through the park til I got him"    Boom boom!

hey, there's something as good!

A defending attorney was cross examining a coroner. The attorney asked, "Before you signed the death certificate had you taken the man's pulse?" The coroner said, "No." The attorney then asked, "Did you listen for a heartbeat?" "No." "Did you check for breathing?" "No." "So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?" The coroner, tired of the browbeating said: "Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But for all I know, he could be out there practicing law somewhere."
