I had mentioned this funny true story I heard from Chuck Swindoll on Tman, but never printed it out. So, here goes:
A lawyer bought a box of very expensive cigars. He insured them against among other things, fire. Within a month he had smoked all 24 of these expensive cigars even before he had made his first premium payment on the policy.
The lawyer filed a claim with the insurance company. In his claim the lawyer claimed the cigars were lost in a series of small fires.
The insurance company refused to pay citing reasons that the man had consumed the cigars in a normal fashion.
The lawyer took the insurance company to court and won.
Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed that the lawyer's claim was frivolous, but stated that that never less the lawyer had a policy with the company that warranted that the cigars were insurable and guaranteed that the policy would insure them against fire without defining what was considered acceptable fire and were obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure a lengthy, costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the 24 cigars in the fires.
Now, here's the best part. After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of arson!
We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

Sounds like fake news to me.
I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.
