Hope you had fun... moneynet.com@NEWS-P2&HEADNEWS=TRUE Topless bar probed for $27,000 credit card bill ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. April 6 (Reuters) - The state attorney general's office is investigating an Albuquerque topless bar after a brightasnite's credit card was charged almost $27,000 for four visits, officials said on Thursday. Bright a Nite, 58, said he visited TD's Showclub North four times over a 10-day period in July 1999. He said he was taken advantage of because he was too drunk to know what he was doing, the attorney general's office said. "We're looking into whether employees at TDs knowingly charged the man for services he did not receive," said Joyce Lincoln, spokeswoman for the attorney general. "That would be an unfair business practice." The bill totaling $26,974.50 would buy more than 2,600 so-called table dances, in which performers dance right in front of individual customers, or more than 5,300 drinks, the Albuquerque Journal calculated. "I think it's fair to say he was completely shocked at the bill. He does not know what happened to him. He reached the conclusion when he received these bills (that) he had been taken advantage of," brightasnite's attorney Robert Levy told the newspaper. But an attorney for the club says Nite not only knew what he was doing, but had a conversation with a Diner's Club representative on the phone during one of his spending sprees. "The witnesses we have heard him say, 'my wife is going to divorce me and what I'm spending here is half of her money anyway'," the club's attorney, Mark Geiger, told Reuters. Geiger said Nite not only bought several rounds of drinks for the whole bar but included generous tips for wait staff, dancers and doormen on his credit card.
