    The ballot initiative here was led by Irvin Bos, a 59-year-old builder and manager of apartment buildings who said he had dedicated himself to fighting pornography because of an incident that occurred when he was 12 years old. He found a sexually explicit book by the roadside then and read it over and over again in the family's barn, Mr. Bos said in an interview today. When lightning struck the barn six months later, burning it down and killing the family's prize bull and best cow, Mr. Bos felt responsible.

    "I just knew I had caused that barn to burn down," Mr. Bos said.

    Hmm... maybe knocking over the lightning rod while wanking had something to do with it?
