For you lawyer haters the below is a true story that I am sure you will find
funny. Now for the obligatorily LBC content. I am looking for two of the
bulb holders that slide into the lamp holder on the fuel gauge and water temp
gauges. It looks like a round flat piece of micarta board with two pieces of
copper on it. The bulb screws into one of them while the other grounds
against the bulb holder. Would prefer to find two original style ones. If
any body has 2 of them please contact me. Also, how do you fill the dang
steering rack with 90/wt lubricant. <<< and now for the lawyer stuff>>>>

A Charlotte, NC lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars.
Then he 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 a 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 a 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 sentenced him 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.
