Default Texas Brothel Struck by Lightning

MT. VERNON, TEXAS 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 cat-house 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 Jill Diamond, the owner/madam, 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 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 bulls**t."

My father was an insurance adjustor/investigator in Reno, Nevada but would sometimes get calls on brothel fires outside of the Reno area. Prostitution was not legal inside the County-- Washoe- where Reno is.

My Mom and Dad were watching the traffic around the burned down brothel from a vantage point where you could not see the brothel's ruins. Up drives a truck driver-- according to my parents-- with the biggest grin on his face. He is anticipating his trip until he reaches the point where he sees what used to be the whorehouse. Then he has the saddest face imaginable.

I was not allowed on trips to brothels-- burned down or otherwise.
