*MT. VERNON, TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES LOCAL CHURCH over
LIGHTNING STRIKE! *
*(This will keep you chuckling for some time.)** *
*Drummond's Bar began construction on an expansion of their Building to
increase their business.
In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block The bar
from expanding with petitions and prayers. Work progressed Right up until
the week before the grand reopening when lightning Struck the bar and it
burned to the ground!
After the bar burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the Church folks
were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about "the Power of prayer,"
until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds That the church .... "was
ultimately responsible for the demise of his Building, either through direct
or indirect actions or means."
In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all
Responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.
The judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's Reply,
and at the opening hearing he commented, "I don't know how I'm Going to
decide this, but it appears from the paperwork that we have a Bar owner who
believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church Congregation that now
does not."
True story.*
