Party Like You’re Stupid: Man Sues Over 28K Strip Club Bill
2004-05-22
A US insurance executive is suing a New York strip club after being charged $28,000 for a night of erotic entertainment and expensive champagne.
Mitchell Blaser claims he spent $2,000 at the Scores Club, but that he was overcharged by more than 10 times.
"See, I’m not a prodigal buffoon, I only spent two grand."
Mr Blaser’s lawyer said the club had assumed his client would be too embarrassed to pursue the matter.
Another clairvoyant lawyer. Sheesh.
A spokesman for the club said Mr Blaser had "partied like a rock star" and run up the huge bill. "If you want to live like [actor] Colin Farrell, you have to pay for it," Lonnie Hanover told the New York Post newspaper.
What are the chances that he picked Farrell’s name at random?
Mr Blaser, chief financial officer at Swiss Re, America,
until this story broke
was billed $16,000 for five bottles of Clos de Mesnil champagne, $7,000 for table dances and strippers, $1,000 for food and drinks and a $4,000 tip to staff.
A strip club stocks 3K per bottle champagne? Our local booby-bar considers Guinness exotic. No, I will not tell you how I know.
The prematurely senile 53-year-old, who was accompanied on the night by two really good friends, claims staff at the club intimidated him into signing a bill for $8,615, and that his credit card was charged three times.
