Beer Joint Sues Local Church

TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES LOCAL CHURCH OVER LIGHTNING STRIKE!

(Don't know if it's true but should keep you chuckling for awhile)

A bar called Drummond's (in Mt Vernon, Texas) began construction on an

expansion of their building, hoping to "grow" their business.

In response, the local Southern Baptist Church started a campaign to

block the bar from expanding - petitions, prayers, etc. About a

week before the bar's grand re-opening, a bolt of lightning struck

the bar and burned it to the ground!

Afterward, the church folks were rather smug - bragging about "the power of

prayer". The angry bar owner eventually sued the church on grounds

that the church ... "was ultimately responsible for the demise of

his building, through direct actions or indirect means."

Of course, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any

connection to the building's demise.

The judge read carefully through the plaintiff's complaint and the

defendant's reply. He then opened the hearing by

saying:"I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from the

paperwork that what we have here is a bar owner who now believes

in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that

does not."

Glad someone got a laugh.

You could say "A laugh a day keeps the doctor away."

Daffy Duck is one of my favorite cartoon characters as well as Road Runner.

Good old Road Runner..... even though you could tell what was going to happen, it was still a good laugh.

Seems to me that if the church was all smug and bragging about the power of prayer and truly believes it, then they should be held accountable...Teach them a lesson...Not sure what lesson but....

The judge was quite funny though...
