$53,000 Strip Club Bill

[THL]

Whoa!!

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. -- A father wants investigators to pursue fraud and larceny charges against a Panhandle strip club after his son ran up a $53,000 bill in a single night while celebrating his college graduation.

Joe Salter, 52, of Mary Esther, told investigators Club 10 employees took advantage of his 24-year-old son, Tommy. The younger Salter was at the club Aug. 18 to celebrate his graduation from Georgia Tech.

According to a report from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, Salter told employees he could only spend $600. But Club 10 owner Tim Beal said Salter bought at least 19 bottles of champagne -- priced from $150 to $2,000.

Beal said Salter signed a receipt for each champagne purchase and even scrawled his initials next to itemized charges. But the elder Salter said only the signature on the first receipt matches his son's.

The sheriff's report alleges larceny and credit card fraud.

Beal said Salter appeared to know what he was doing throughout the night.

''This fellow was lucid,'' Beal said. "He was actually dancing with the manager, Chris, right before he left.''

Beal said he had already talked to American Express after Salter filed a complaint with the company, seeking to have part of the charge withdrawn. The company decided in Club 10's favor, he said.

A very wise man once told me "strip clubs are money vacuums, designed to inhale as much cash from you as possible".

Of course, at the time, he had a rather attractive young blonde sitting on his lap, whilst a gorgeous young Iranian ("Persia") lass was perched on mine.

Personally I find strip clubs to be rather boring and pointless...

...unless you're there in the company of females that you can buy lapdances for.

THEN it's great place to go! :))

And if I was a VERY wise man, I'd have invested the money we blew that night.

In TIKI kitsch.:))

Hands up who thought that American Express would come out in favour of the Beals

Most strip clubs are the lowest kinds of places you can go to. Just a regular disco club or something is usually better.

So which costs more, a strip club or a wife?

A wife...easily.

A wife ,no question about it.

It's a tough one. Both make you feel like crap. A wife does it when you're there, a strip club does after when you realize you're a loser enough to go there. Both cost a ton of money. Strippers don't nag the next morning, a wife tends to be a tad more attractive. It really is a close call.

Greg Norman's ex-wife cost him a fair bit of money from what i hear.
