From News of the Weird comes the redaction of a story from the Orlando Sentinel:
In a December incident near Orlando, a former Ku Klux Klan “Cyclops,” George Hixon, 73, and his son, Troy, 45, and Troy’s girlfriend fought, resulting in Troy’s allegedly firing gunshots toward the woman’s feet and the subsequent arrests of the two men. According to Osceola County deputies, the altercation was precipitated by the girlfriend’s unhappiness that she got the “cheap beer” while the men kept the “good beer” (Budweiser) for themselves.
There is so much wrong with this story. First, there is a Biblical reference (by default) of cheap vs. good beer. This is reminiscent of the Wedding Feast at Cana, where Jesus changed water into wine, not only into wine, but the very best wine. The host of the feast was then commended for keeping back the best wine until last, contrary to the usual custom of starting off with the best wine and then carrying out the rotgut when everyone was too drunk to care.
However, most important, the lady in question seems to believe that Budweiser is the “good” beer. What must they have been serving her?

I’m sorry to have to tell you this, madam, but your horse has diabetes.
