A man from Charlotte, North Carolina, buys a case of very expensive cigars. He then insures them against � fire! Over the next month he smokes all the cigars. The man then makes a claims against the insurance company, �I have lost some very expensive cigars,� he writes in his his claim, �in a series of small fires.' The man takes the insurance company to court. Amazingly he wins. The judge says that the claim is �frivolous� or silly. But there is a problem for the insurance company. Nothing in the insurance policy explains the exact meaning of the word �fire�. The man from Charlotte wins the case. The insurance company pays the man $15,000 for the cigars lost 'in the fires�. The man goes to his bank to cash the cheque. The police are waiting for him. �You�re under arrest,� they tell him. �What for?� �Arson and fraud,� say the police. �We charge you with setting fire to 24 cigars. The man returns to court. The evidence against him is his insurance claim and his testimony from the previous case. �It�s a criminal offence to intentionally destroy insured property,� the judge informs the man from Charlotte. He then sentences him one month in prison for each cigar � 24 in total.
