Dr Wendy Stenberg-Tendys and her husband are the CEO'sYouMe Support Foundation and Child Trust Fund. They offer a genuine Blue Moon Opportunity, which could not only change your life, but the lives of some really great kids. Take just a few minutes to check it out atWin A Resort.
When you have the need to really change things in your life and you have the courage to pick up the challenge, you will find Blue Moon opportunities on an almost daily basis. However, there are some who are just too smart for their boots and try to create opportunities where there aren't any.
A North Carolina man purchased a box of rare and very expensive cigars, and promptly insured them against fire. The temptation to light up just one of the rarities, sit back and enjoy its luxury, proved too much for him. He then proceeded to smoke his way through the entire box, within a few weeks. This of course, was without having bothered to pay even the first premium on the insurance policy.
"My rare cigars have been lost through a series of small fires," was the man's claim to the insurance company. A claim the company refused to pay up on. They said the man had consumed the cigars in a normally acceptable way. They of course had no proof of this, apart from the man's own confession.
The judge agreed the claim was frivolous, however the court acknowledged the man was holding a policy from the insurance company, which warranted the cigars as being insurable and covered against fire. The judge pointed out the insurance company had failed to specify what form of fire was unacceptable.
Apart from a costly process of fighting the court, the insurance company was forced to accept the judge's ruling. The judge awarded the owner of the cigars $15,000, through loss by fire.The insurance company appeared to graciously retire, until the man cashed the cheque. Believing he had thoroughly outsmarted the insurance company, through what seemed to be a once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity, the man proceeded with his plan to spend the money.
Once the cheque was presented at the bank, the insurance company ordered the man to be arrested on a count of twenty-four acts of arson. The man's testimony from the previous court case was used to condemn him. Convicted of deliberately burning insured property, the man was sentenced to twenty-four months in jail, besides being charged to pay a $24,000 fine.In a world where cigarette smoking has become socially unacceptable, the world's largest cigar is 45 foot long, according to the Guiness Book of Records. Castelar surpassed his own record of a 35-foot cigar created in 2000.
It is certainly something to choke on. How many months jail would the North Carolina guy get if he could insure and then smoke the biggest cigar?
