An Oklahoma man was arrested after getting into a fight with police who were called in after the man tried to bay for his $32 bar tab in gum wrappers.

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.

Hmm... I'm pretty good at math, Maybe the allunimum content in the wrappers are worth more than the dollar?

Um...not really.  Soda cans used to be worth about a quarter 20 years ago.  Nor are they considered Legal Tender in the US!

I would think hub caps would be worth more.
