Fwd: Often-sober, unethical lawyer exposed! Juicy details ;-)

[Guest guest]

A friend just sent me this lawyer joke. It's so packed

with irony, I just had to share it with you...

Only in America

_______________

A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare

and expensive cigars, 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.

Unbelievably, the lawyer sued ... and won!

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 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.

Isn't life ironic! ;-)

Why not give the gift that keeps on giving!
