even better "quote of the year"

[Ken Gargett]

i'm told that this is a true quote from a case in the usa (and for the record, as a former lawyer, i know only too well that gross stupidity exists in courts around the world and, while sorry to disappoint some, this is in no way intended as anything anti-american).

whether true or not, i think it a classic.

Judge to prostitute : 'So when did you realize you were raped?'

Prostitute, wiping away tears: 'When the cheque bounced.'

i'm told that this is a true quote from a case in Oz.

Insurance agent to aficionado : 'So how were your cigars destroyed?'

Aficionado, wiping away tears: 'A faulty humidor did it.'

I remember reading a story that a guy tried to claim insurance on his cigars because "they were lost in a series of small fires" lol

that one is an urban myth, i am certain.

some dodgy lawyer (yes, in a perfect world, 'dodgy lawyer' would be one word) claimed insurance on his cigars claiming fire damage. the insurance company returned the favour by alleging arson.

This can't possibly be a story from the US. We spell the word "check" correctly. Must have been a Canadian hooker.

The story goes as I heard it, a man bought a very expensive box of cigars which he insured. The cigars were lost "in a series of small fires" made an insurance claim, which the insurance company appealed and lost. Then once the man was awareded the claim they sued him for arson.

something about a common people divided by language?

there is a reason it is called the "english" language.

i remember on an old computer, when it went through spellcheck, it would always try and and turn "cheque" into "tequilla". story of my life.
