New Mexico- Strip clubs pretty much have two rules. Don’t touch the dancers, and when “Cherry Pie” fades out and “Pour Some Sugar On Me” starts up, your lap dance is over. Last Tuesday that second rule was learned the hard way by two New Mexico teens making their first trip to an Albuquerque area “exotic dance club.”

According to the criminal complaint filed in the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court, Craig Everett and Malik Wakji, both 18, were hanging out in Fantasy World’s VIP room with Orchid and Carmela when the music stopped and their bill came due. And their damage for sitting through 41 consecutive songs (82 dances)? Almost $2500. Everett and Wakji, who between them could only come up with $550, explained to cops they “did not know that a new dance started with a new song.” But that excuse didn’t sway the cops, who hit them each with a felony charge for falsely obtaining services.
