Texas Beer Joint Sues Church

In Mt. Vernon, Texas, Drummond's Bar began construction on a new building to
increase their business. In response, the local Baptist church started a
campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers. Work
progressed right up until the week before opening when lightning struck the bar
and it burned to the ground. 

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, 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 does not."

ENJOY!!!
