Wow, It has almost been an entire year since my last entry! How cool would it have been if I had waited the entire year to post? I guess not as cool as it sounds to me. I don't feel like I have missed a whole year on this thing but I guess it is irrelevant.
I have a funny story I want to post, I guess I will save it until the end of my entry just incase whoever may read this entry doesn't want to read my little story.
So what's new with me? Before when I would type my entries I would be sitting in bed at my mommy's house or in the computer room at my mom's. Now I am living with Chris, my boyfriend, (still together! look at me!) I have had a number of hardships throughout the past year. Well... maybe one really bad situation... anyways...
I think I forgot how to write in this things... for now I am going to paste my funny story for yall to read, then I am going to reminisce on the past by reading through old entries. Hopefully by tomorrow I will have some fun things to talk about!! :) peace out! :):):):)

THE FUNNY STORY...
Lawyer Story

This is the best lawyer story of the year, decade, and probably the century.

A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim against the insurance company.

In his claim, the lawyer 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 lawyer sued....and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."

NOW FOR THE BEST PART... After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine.

This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
