Texas Beer Joint Sues Church


  In Mt. Vernon, Texas, Drummond’s Bar began construction on expansion of their building to increase their business.



  In response, the local Baptist church started a campaign of petitions and prayers to block the bar from expanding.



  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 a 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 and/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, because 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.”

now, now moderators!  stop fighting!
or we'll have to hire some regulators to keep the peace (since we are in Texas here)

sneaks into Micks yard and sets up a lighted nativity scene.

If I were the Baptist preacher, all I'd need to prove my case is a $1 bill.

It reads "In God We Trust". It is legal tender eagerly accepted as over-the-counter payment commodity by the bar owner.

So HE acknowledges it is "good".

So, an "act of God" cannot be blamed on the prayer group, all they did was to ask the building to stop, not to suggest a specific way to stop it.

Come on, even Moses asked to cross the Red Sea, all he wanted was a B R I D G E, but no, he had to WADE his way across...
...got his feet wet, too...

lf the 357 doesn't  work I shall use my last resort, se please beware,
drum roll please,and please stand back ,and please do not try and feed
the beast,you have been warned.

Hey, Mick, I forgot what that tool is for, the circle with the pin poking out.
Also, if you swing the cylinder out & use the Eject rod, is there a pin ( or 2 ) in the cylinder that lines up with holes in the Star shaped thing that shoves the empties out?

I have no idea how old mine is. Got it from a pawn shop around 20 years ago. I see 2 holes in the back side of the cylinder that line up with holes in the "star" that ejects the empties. Ive wondered if there are supposed to be pins in the cylinder to fit into the holes on the "star",,
