Power of Prayer?
« on: September 16, 2012, 02:14:42 PM »
WHOREHOUSE SUES LOCAL CHURCH OVER LIGHTNING STRIKE!
 
Diamond D's brothel began construction on an expansion of their building to increase their ever-growing business. In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block the business from expanding with morning, afternoon and evening prayer sessions at their church.
 
Work on Diamond D's progressed right up until the week before the grand reopening when lightning struck the whorehouse and burned it to the ground!
 
After the cathouse was burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about 'The power of prayer'.

But late last week 'Big Jugs' Jill Diamond, the owner/madame, sued the church, the preacher and the entire congregation on the grounds that the church "was ultimately responsible for the demise of her building and her business either through direct or indirect divine actions or means."
 
In its reply to the court, the church vehemently and voraciously denied any and all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.
 
The crusty old judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented, "I don't know how the hell I'm going to decide this damn case, but it appears from the paperwork that we now have a whorehouse owner who staunchly believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that thinks it's all bullshit!"

The cats need to sue God!

Billy Connolly did it after a similar event.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
