* American Women! *

Vampish Looking Euro Woman (commentary): "What's all this I hear about
American women complaining that they are not getting any respect in the
workplace? Why do you American women care so much? Let me tell you this,
baby. In Europe, there are only three types of women that want respect:
1) fat women, 2) ugly women and 3) fat ugly women. Baby, if you have it,
use it."

* A Series of Small Fires *
***************************************************************************
A Charlotte, NC, man having purchased a case of very rare, expensive
cigars, insured them against fire, among other things. Within a month,
having smoked his entire stockpile of cigars and without having made even
his first premium payment, the man filed a claim against the insurance
company. In his claim, the man stated the cigars were lost "in a series
of small fires." 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. In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed the
claim was frivolous, but 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 obligated to pay the
claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process the insurance
company accepted the ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he
lost in "the fires."
After the man cashed the check, the company had him arrested on 24 counts
of arson. With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous
case used against him, the man was convicted of intentionally burning his
insured property and sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.
