Reminds me of a story a retired assistant DA from Georgia told me. He was prosecuting a case in the late '70's (when you could smoke in the courtroom) and the defendant's lawyer had a huge churchill cigar he was smoking. The ash was every bit of 5" long while the prosecution was doing closing arguments. Bill said that the jury was so enamored with wondering when that ash was going to fall off that cigar, they weren't paying attention to the prosecution's closing arguments. After the defendant was acquitted, Bill said the lawyer laid the remains of the cigar down in his ash tray and left. He went to look at it and the bastage had inserted a wire down the center of the cigar to hold the ash in place.
