They said, they said...

A BAR IN TENNESSEE – A barroom brawl was averted last night when a group of bikers allowed a table full of church members to drink beer and eat chicken wings in peace.

“Normally, we’d run over and tell them to beat it, but we decided to leave them be,” said Jess, “They smiled a little too much for us and some of them had collars on their shirts, but it wasn’t that big a deal.”

The church-goers were in the bar to watch the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament. When asked why chose a bar to meet, Pastor Edmounds replied, “The wings are better here than at my house.”

The regulars in the bar were surprised that a church group would show up. Bill, who offered to play pool against anyone at the table for $10 a game, said, “They seemed nice enough, even if they were too chicken to play pool.”

It was reported that one of the Presbyterians played softball in a weekend league with the bikers and that a couple of the bikers went to church.

SAME PLACE -- A barroom revival was averted last night when a church group, who met to eat wings, drink beer and watch the NCAA basketball tournament, allowed a group of leather-clad bikers to play pool and laugh amongst one another in peace.

“Normally, we’d run over there and tell them that they are going straight to hell, what with their clothes and pool-playing and drinking more than us,” said Pastor Edmounds, “They dressed like Mel Gibson in the Road Warrior, but we decided to let them enjoy themselves.”

The bikers were in the bar to socialize and play some pool. When asked why they chose a bar to meet, Jess replied, “The wings are better here than at my house.”

The church members were surprised that bikers would be here. Church-member-Tim, who challenged anyone in the bar to a contest to find Jeremiah 14:7 faster than anyone else for $10, said, “They seemed nice enough, even if they didn’t know their major prophets.”

It was reported that one of the bikers had been to church in the past few weeks and that one of the church members liked to play pool.
