THE ORIGINAL E-MYTH (9/13/06) From: Joseph Bleough To: Jane Dough (and 100s of others) Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 3:09 PM Subject: Fw: The Budweiser Story - REALLY COOL! The Budweiser Story (not a joke) This is TRUE! 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 A$$ Whoopin! Pass this along, America needs to know that we're all working together! If you can read this...Thank a teacher... If you are reading it in English.... THANK A SOLDIER!!! God Bless America !! |

MY RESPONSE TO THE ORIGINAL E-MYTH (9/29/06) Dear Joseph and Friends: I don't even have to do a search on this e-mail to know that it stinks of complete fabrication. Even Ann Coulter thinks you went too far. It would make a great promotional story for Alzheimer-Busch, but apparently, they decided not to touch it. This yarn is just too perfect, Budweiser being the beer of choice for "that community," and all. And Bud-man just happens to be neighbors with Pepsi-man. And the aliens in War Of The Worlds just happen to die from their lack of antibodies to earthly germs, just before humankind is about to be permanently wiped out. And Michelle Caulkin and Al Franken are an item. Come on. Even the writers of When Harry Met Sally say your story is too predictable. Once again, there are violent extremists in almost every group of people on earth - including Caucasians. Cut the Arabs and the Muslims some slack. Do you hear them throwing The Crusades up in our face every time they get mad at us? Did they pull all of their hummous and baba ghannouj out of our Piggly Wigglys in the 12th century? DID THEY!? The vast number of Muslims and Arabs are thoroughly ashamed of what UBL and his organization have done. What if Timothy McVeigh was your brother? You'd spend the rest of your life trying to show that you were not like him. I'm sure that's also how Muslims and Arabs feel. Signed: Am I your Caucasian?!? MY NEW E-MAIL RUMOR (I just made it up) THIS IS NOT A JOKE - THIS IS TRUE On 4/1/02, Fox News released the names of 159 ACLU Budweiser drivers that had been convicted of delivering Budweiser products to Arab-owned convenience stores, after a company-wide ban against such deliveries had been put into effect. The ban was instituted after one store's Arab owners allegedly laughed on 9/11/01. It was assumed, and rightly so, that if these two Arabs were laughing, all Arab convenience store owners in America were guilty of taking pleasure in the 9/11 attacks. It should be noted that the ACLU Bud drivers actually shorted Caucasian stores, in order to ensure that all of the Arab stores' orders were filled. You probably never heard about this story. That's because our liberal Congress, our liberal Executive Branch, and our liberal Supreme Court all conspired to repress this story to protect the ACLU Budweiser drivers and their Constitution-loving ways. Thought you might like to know what happened in a little country south of Canada. After you finish reading this, please forward it on to others so that our nation, and people around the world, will know about those who delivered Budweiser to those who might have laughed. This is a true story, and the author is a well-known leader in prison ministry. If you can read this, thank your optometrist . . . If you are reading it in English - that's good, because it's written in English; so you're not delusional. |
