A close call...
SOMEWHERE NEARBY– A bar and grill room 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 Wild Bill, “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 and grill to watch the NBA playoffs. When asked why they chose a bar to meet, Pastor Name Withheld replied, “The chicken wings are better here than at my house.”
The regulars in the bar were surprised that a church group would show up. Wild Bill, who offered to play billiards against anyone for $10 a game, said, “They seemed nice enough, even if they didn’t know how to play nine-ball.”
It was reported that a few of the church members played softball in a league with the bikers and that a couple of the bikers claimed Jesus Christ as their personal savior and attended church on a regular basis.

SAME TIME, SAME PLACE-- A bar and grill room revival was averted last night when a church group, who met to eat wings, drink beer and watch the NBA playoffs, 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 were going straight to hell, what with their clothes and pool-playing and drinking more than us,” joked Pastor Name Withheld, “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, Wild Bill replied, “The chicken wings are better here than at my house.”
The church members were surprised that bikers would be there. Deacon Tim, who challenged those 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 a few of the bikers had been to church in the past few weeks and that one of the church members rode a motorcycle for fun, played cards and had a pool table in his house.
A close call indeed...
