Within a month, having\u00a0smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet\u00a0having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer\u00a0filed a claim against the insurance company.<\/p>\n<p>In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost &#8216;in a series of\u00a0small fires.&#8217; The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious\u00a0reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer sued.. and WON!<\/p>\n<p>(Stay with me.)<\/p>\n<p>Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company\u00a0that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the\u00a0lawyer held a policy from the company, which it had warranted that the\u00a0cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them\u00a0against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable\u00a0fire&#8217; and was obligated to pay the claim!<\/p>\n<p>Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance\u00a0company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his\u00a0loss of the cigars lost in the &#8216;fires&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>NOW, FOR THE BEST PART<\/p>\n<p>After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him\u00a0arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!<\/p>\n<p>With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case\u00a0being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally\u00a0burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail\u00a0and a $24,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>This is a true story and was the First Place winner in a\u00a0Criminal Lawyers Award Contest!<\/p>\n<p>|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone has any suggestions or complaints regarding the newsletter, please let me know &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:ceilidh@rscdsvancouver.org\">ceilidh@rscdsvancouver.org<\/a> Please do not complain to your server that this is junk mail.

SCD is, naturally, rooted in Scotland but there are groups in almost every country so you can learn here and then dance with other groups when you vacation or travel. SCD is not to be confused with Highland Dancing which is more solo dancing. SCD is usually done with a partner in groups or sets however you do not need to come with a partner. It is more akin to Square Dancing.<\/p>\n<p>It takes a year or two of classes, workshops, etc. to learn the basics then you can hone your skills in advanced classes. You start by learning the steps and formations. Dances (of which there are over 13,000) are made up of these formations so a good grounding will give you the ability to learn a new dance fairly quickly. SCD has its HQ in Scotland and is known as the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) and there is a Vancouver Branch of the RSCDS under which there are many clubs throughout the Province (there is also a Branch in Seattle).<\/p>\n<p>There are a great many classes and the ones in the Vancouver area are listed on the website. Come along \u2013 check us out \u2013 <strong>the first night is usually free and thereafter it will average about $6 a night and that\u2019s for a 2 hour class! \u00a0<\/strong> You will find many friendly people who will be eager to help you and welcome you to their club.
