Melbourne pub dares patrons to bare all down under

» by Chris in: Dumb people,Funny people,Humor,Weird News,What an idiot

In September a Melbourne Australian pub got itself into a little trouble and now they’re being investigated by alcohol licensing regulators!

You see they promised a “No Undie Sunday” where women who removed their underwear and hung it above the bar would receive $50 worth of free drinks. Yeah … no undies and all liquored up – now that’s some idea.

Apparently women who flashed their bras and underwear to staff would also get free drinks.

Women’s protections groups were up in arms over the promotion stating that it was “almost an invitation to sexual assault”.

“On the face of it, it looks like an inappropriate liquor promotion and we will be investigating with a view to banning it,” Liquor Licensing Victoria director Sue Maclellan told the Herald Sun newspaper.

On its website the Saint describes itself as “the home of Melbourne’s fashionable set”, but pub attracted the ire of regulators in June after hiring a dwarf to pour free liquor down patrons’ throats.

Posters for the no undies day event showed singer Britney Spears partially exposed and exiting a car in a scene local Mayor Janet Cribbes said was “bordering on being pornographic”.

But I found the checkbook – can’t I use it?

STATESBORO, Ga., – A 21-year-old Georgia man was arrested after trying to buy drinks with a checkbook he found at a bar. Unfortunately for Jody Brian Minor of McRae, the checkbook’s owner was the bartender serving him.

Minor was arrested on theft and forgery charges early Saturday morning, Statesboro Police Detective Terry Briley said.

He was “extraordinarily intoxicated,” Briley said. Minor is out on bond, and his case will go before a grand jury in August, Briley said.

Minor was at Dingus Magee’s bar when he found a checkbook and began paying his tab with it, Briley said. One of the bar’s employees realized the checks belonged to a fellow bartender Hubble Beasley, who called police.

Briley said Minor’s father has paid the delinquent $129 bar tab.
