Mark Twain
Call me Ishmael.
I still cannot believe this!
A North Carolina man, having bought a box of expensive cigars, insured them against 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 that the man had smoked the cigars 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 company then had him arrested on 25 counts of arson.
