Splitting the tab...

Post by Gob »

"Right, now who had the loaves and fishes...."

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – A woman was arrested Sunday night after refusing to pay her dinner tab at a Myrtle Beach seafood restaurant because, as she explained to police, “Jesus” was going to cover the cost of her meal.

Myrtle Beach Police were called to Bennetts Calabash just after 9 p.m. Sunday night when, according to the incident report, 51-year-old April Lee Yates was asked to leave by management, but refused to do so. The report states that Yates was in the restaurant for nearly four hours before she started to cause a disturbance with other patrons. Management asked Yates to pay her dinner tab and leave, but she refused to pay the $26 bill.

When the officer asked Yates if she had any money to pay, Yates said she did not. The officer then asked Yates what she planned to do with the bill came, and Yates explained that “Jesus” was going to pay her tab.

Yates was arrested for defrauding a restaurant and booked into the Myrtle Beach jail.

She's :loon


I mean, if you're going to get arrested for failure to pay your tab, run it up a little more than $26!!

She's wrong - that's only for take-away
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Wrong? Certainly. But then, I figure if god gave us a sense of humor and a sense to be able to laugh at ourselves, god could laugh at him/her/itself as well. If I'm wrong, then perhaps I'm going to hell.

I just realized that whether or not something is called a 'beauty mark' is based on the local neighborhood.

This is surely a prime example of non sequitur, don't you think?

A "prime example of idiocy", I would say.

Seems all evidence indicates both were mentally ill to some degree. Not sure there's anything else in common between these two situations. :shrug

Sad thing is, no need to split the Tab, you can have one all to yourself and still hit your weight goals:
