I don’t know if this is a true story or not. I received it via email yesterday. I’ve done some Googling and checked out Snopes, but I cannot find anything to confirm or debunk this story. In any case, it’s good enough to share!
In a small Texas town, a new bar/tavern started a building to open up their business. The local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers.
Work progressed, however right up till the week before opening, when a lightning strike hit the bar and it burned to the ground.
The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till 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. The church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building’s demise in its answer to the court.
As the case made its way in to court, the judge looked over the paperwork. At the hearing he commented, “I don’t know how I’m going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that doesn’t.”

Just like many other people, I am the recipient of many, many forwarded emails with stories that are deemed to be so important that they “must” be passed on to everyone else I know. Typically, stories include the phrases “not a joke” and/or “this is true” are a tipoff that they are just another viral myth.
After receiving one this morning (from a well-meaning friend), I thought I would start a new ongoing “mythbuster” feature on this blog in which I check out suspect stories and share the results here. The first story to kick this inaugural edition is…
The Budweiser Story
(not a joke)
This is TRUE!
How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September, 2001…
Thought you might like to know what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield , California . After you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that our nation and people around the world will know about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New York , Pennsylvania , and the Pentagon.

I received the following humorous story via email this morning…
A doctor on his morning walk noticed a very pretty older lady sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said, ‘I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look! What is your secret?’
‘I smoke ten cigars a day,’ she said. ‘Before I go to bed!, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On week-ends, I pop pills, get laid, and do no other exercise at all.’
‘That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?’
‘Twenty-four,’ she replied.
