Cuban Cigars

   Jim tells this story the other day and I thought I'd share it with you...
   A conniving man buys a box of Cuban cigars. Of course they are very expensive and so he insures them - you know, earthquake, theft, fire. So he smokes them all, and then files a claim with his insurance company. This is not quite what the insurance was for so they take him to court. Once in court the judge says in his ruling, "Well of course this is not right, but there was no stipulation in the insurance about how the cigars were to be burned." So he rules for the smoking man, and the insurance company cuts him a check for $48,000.
   The man is elated that his little scheme worked. He takes his check to the bank with a gleam in his eyes. The moment he cashes it, the police appear and arrest him for arson.
   Just goes to show you can't always beat the system...
