It looks like you should be able to pick up the text of the story from here:
Cigar Arson

Or from many of the hits from here:
a layer sues over a fire and box of cigars video - Google Search

Basically a lawyer sues and wins vs an insurance company he insured his expensive cigars against for going up in smoke... and wins. It seems to be an old story that has been making the rounds for a number of years, and often used just to make a point during a speech.

As I said, maybe, but only in the US of A I would suspect, to be even close to being true!!!

PS: I didn't know that one had to be a FB member just in order to view one of their webpages or links.

Sadly, most of what the public thinks that it knows about U.S. attorneys in not at all true.

In fact, there was a very expensive misinformation campaign about attorneys, run by insurance companies, that the public just ate up. Have a look at this entertaining episode of Adam Ruins Everything:

At 1:35 they start talking about the famous McDonalds "hot coffee" lawsuit.

Oh yes I remember that from a good while back.


Brad Paisley Lyrics
"The Cigar Song"

Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em

[Chorus]
I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a fifty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames

[2nd Chorus]
They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressin' charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson

[3rd Chorus]
And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one
Yeah, I smoke 'em one by one

When I saw your "but only in the US of A I" I first read it as "US of Artificial Intelligence" Well, that's what it looked like and it dammed early for me!

Sorry John, but you won't find much intelligence, artificial or real here in the US in the last 5 days. Just watch the news.

Chas, I have been watching it and the demonstrations are happening in London as well now.

I was shocked by what happened as were loads of others here too. A lot of people this side of the pond just don't really know what the situation is really like? I know that I don't and all I can do is to wish all the very best of luck (not the right word, but the only one I can think of)

An elderly golfer comes in after a good round of golf at the new course, and heads straight to the bar/restaurant area of the club house. As he passes through the swinging doors he spots a sign hanging over the bar that reads:

COLD BEER: $ 5.00
HAMBURGER: $ 8.00
CHEESEBURGER: $10.00
CHICKEN SANDWICH $12.50
HAND JOB: $25.00

Checking his wallet to be sure he has enough cash, the old golfer walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled golfers.

She glides down behind the bar to the old golfer.

“Yes?" she inquires with a wide, knowing smile. “May I help you sir?”

The old golfer leans over the bar and whispers, "I was wondering young lady, are you the one who gives the hand-jobs around here?”

She looks into his wrinkled eyes and with a wide smile purrs,
"Yes sir, I sure am.”

The old golfer leans in even closer and into her left ear says softly,

"Well then, be sure to wash your hands really well, because I want a cheeseburger.”

Thanks again Randy for starting my day with a laugh.

I didn't think it was humorous and would like to keep any kind of politics out of these forums even if meant as a joke.

Thanks.
