A Brazilian man is suing a bar in Brazil which charged him a £4 puke tax.
Luiz Fernandes Peres had the 'tax' added to his bill after a friend was sick in the toilet.
The Taverna Pub Medieval Bar in Natal imposes the fee whenever anyone is sick on the premises.
But an angry Mr Peres told Terra Noticias Populares: "I consider this extortion."
If the tax made him puke, would that count as double taxation?
I reckon it would...
My son worked at a couple of bars this past summer as bartender/bouncer. Some of the stories he came home with makes cleaning up puke look like nothing. The guy who attacked him with a beer bottle....the dope deals in the bathroom, the lewd and lacivious on the barstool, the sex acts in the bathrooms....
