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 company then had
him arrested… for arson.
