If you want to have sex on a restaurant table, just be sure to pay your bill before leaving


Tom Murphy told officers that he approached the couple early Monday evening and told them to stop. But the man, identified by cops as Jeremie Calo, responded, "She can't get up at this time." Calo, 32, was referring to his companion Tiffani Lynn Barganier. 
Murphy told police that he directed Calo to "Compose yourself, pay your tab or I'll call the police." Calo, however, signed his check "NO" and then scuffled with a restaurant employee when he tried to leave without paying.
Murphy and the worker restrained Calo until the arrival of cops, who arrested Calo for defrauding an innkeeper.


The world is going to hell in a handbasket, but hell is either a VERY long way or we are dawdling. Twenty years ago, when I worked for a major international airline, we had an incident on a flight from Hong Kong where a flight attendant was providing extraordinary customer service to a first class passenger on the floor behind the last row of seats, just in front of the galley. Despite obvious and frequent sounds of enjoyment rattling the cabin for sometime, the other crew members only saw fit to interrupt when they began readying the cabin for landing. Apparently the flight attendant was not inclined to prepare for landing as she was taking off at the time.

At least the first class passenger had already paid for his ticket, and the drinks were free. So no arrests were made.

    1. Yes, we've been going hell since Adam and Eve.

  2. Defrauding an innkeeper! Bwahahahaha. Right below that were laws against horse theft, and drawing your six gun in the inn.

    I can't imagine why he wouldn't pay, though. That is the standard cost for 'getting' the girl in your average TV show ethics class.

    1. Tuerqas, he already got her. BEFORE the meal. Why pay then?

      If I had been the restaurant owner, I'd have dumped a HUGE pitcher of ice water on both of them. I bet that would have ended things in a hurry.

    3. I don't know, he refused to pay so they must have gotten something. It sounds like they had their meal and he counted her as dessert. So if he just refused to pay for dessert, he may have a legal case in today's courts. The pitcher idea is a great one, but if he has carpet, he still has to clean it up, not that I'd bus that table...

      How DO you break up public sex? Push the guy off and threaten to kick his stump to splinters if he doesn't take it private? We have talked about public(pubic?) shaming in the past, what about people unaffected by shame?

    4. I guess I was switching the subject. I was referring to the girl. He got her. The meal, too, obviously, or the restaurant owner wouldn't have wanted them to pay the bill.

      I would have wanted to see them in jail for indecent exposure, indecent behavior, and indecent whatever.

  3. Call them what they are. A couple of pigs with not a shred of human decency within them. They should've been given the bum's rush, with police help if necessary.

    1. Yes, the world is fast descending into the abyss. My horror is not JUST for what they did, but for the fact that there wasn't a single man in that restaurant who didn't just beat the living crap out of that guy -- to everyone else clapping and buying him a drink. Morality only really survives in society when it can challenge the indecency and evil of others and be SUPPORTED by the rest of us. When we look away, or when we refuse to support someone who step up to defend what is right, we destroy good.

      I wanted that article to end with a little note that the guy was recovering in the hospital after patrons taught him a little lesson about how to behave in public.

    2. Quite honestly, he would have sued and won. Morality has already lost. I am not saying we can't get it back in to our society, but currently a public beating would have landed the beaters in jail. In a moral world, someone would have taken a hedge clippers to the boy right there. Public castration beats public shame every day.

    3. That's part of the problem. We should be a society that supports beating the crap out of the guy, from the people in the restaurant to the cops who show up, to the law when the creep is hauled in front of the court.

      We aren't. We've already lost.

      Public castration. Nice. My husband teases our 16 year old daughter that any boyfriend she ever brings over will be greeted by Dad holding his castrators -- the gruesome device he uses to castrate colts. He'll just hold it, all normal like, and they'll have a chat.

      HAHAHAHAHAA!

    4. Public castration, private castration, I am not picky.

      "He'll just hold it, all normal like, and they'll have a chat."

      HAHAHAHAHA! Does he have a nice Anthony Perkins sideways stare?
