Thanks for the clip. Yet another example of crafty "land sharks".

Good example of not inserting the fine print. Not enough attention to detail.

having purchased a case of very expensive cigars, insured them against, among other things, fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile, the man filed a claim against the insurance company, stating 
that the cigars were lost 'in a series of small fires'.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guy-sports.com/humor/stories/story_cigar.htm"><P>The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The man sued - and 
won.<IMG width="121" vspace="11" height="126" border="0" align="right" alt="Funny Story Cigar" src="http://www.guy-sports.com/humor/stories/../../fun_pictures/cigar.jpg" /></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guy-sports.com/humor/stories/story_cigar.htm"><P>In delivering the ruling the judge, agreeing that the claim was frivolous, stated nevertheless that the man held a policy  
from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable 
and also guaranteed that it would insure against fire, without defining what it considered to be 'unacceptable fire' 
, and was obliged to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal the 
insurance company accepted the ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he had lost 'in the fires'.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1A026C6C-54AD-42F5-AE63-A37B4FC4E8CB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
