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.
