Man tries to pay bar tab with gum wrappers

LAWTON, Okla. - A 28-year-old man who attempted to pay for his bar tab with gum wrappers was arrested after a scuffle with a police officer on Tuesday night, authorities said.

A bartender told police the man was playing pool with an open bottle of beer and spilled some of it on the table. She said he first tried to pay his $32 tab with a credit card, which was declined.

When police arrived and ordered the man to pay his tab, they reported that he began counting out gum wrappers as if they were cash.

The man was detained on a complaint of disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer.

So beer goggles work on gum wrappers like they do ugly women? He probably thought they were $100's.

"I'm so drunk that he'll probably believe me!"

Some may call "drunk". I call him "imaginative."

Would have been funnier if they would have excepted them.
