The Budweiser Story (not a joke)

How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September, 2001...

Thought you might like to know what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield, California. After you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that our nation and people around the world will know about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon.

On September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience store in a California town named McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had occurred in New York when he entered the business to find the two Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval and support of this treacherous attack.

The Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event! He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss asked him, "Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them again."

The employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage company provided and left with an incredible grin on his face.

He told them never to bother to call for a delivery again.

Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community. Just letting you know how Kern County handled this situation.

And Now The Rest Of The Story:

It seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi man are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him. Pepsi called his boss who told him to pull all Pepsi products as well!!! That would include Frito Lay, etc.

Furthermore, word spread and all vendors followed suit! At last report, the store was closed indefinitely.Good old American Passive-Aggressive! BUTT Whoopin!

Pass this along, America needs to know that we're all working together.

God Bless America!!

I received this via email. I cannot verify whether or not it is true.

LOL!!! "Lugubriously"? You crack me up!

Welcome to America. Sorry to disillusion you, I Singh I, but in America (especially in America), not everything you read is true. ;-)

(BTW, "Lugubriously" is a real WORD? Spell check didn't try to correct the spelling. LOL)

I have to confess, all I did was start writing. I realized halfway in that I needed a story in my story!

So I took a break and had some cookies and milk, and thought of one.

I think somebody up there is slipping the ideas to me.

That someone is giving you some great ideas. I hope he continues to do that so you can share them with us.

I'm looking for a Sunday poem or prayer to use on tomorrow's Welcome. I should have sent you a graphic or three. LOL

I don't think you've used "Mistakes Occur", yet.

I'm probably tapped out at the moment. I need to refresh.
