Police say two officers who responded to complaints about a wild party in Germany were mistaken for male strippers by the female guests. 

Neighbors called police around 1 a.m. to complain about noise from a birthday party in their building.  When the officers arrived to investigate, party-goers responded with a round of applause.  A police spokesman said, "They thought the policemen were dressed like that because they were strippers. It took them a while to realize they were real police officers."

The women had not ordered strippers, but they thought someone had sent them as a surprise for the guest-of-honor, who was celebrating her 30th birthday.  Nobody was arrested, though one cop reported finding a few dollar bills stuffed down his pants.

Somehow believing that fake bills were appropriate payment for fake boobs, Walberto Ramirez was arrested for using counterfeit $20 bills to pay strippers.

Ramirez visited the Déjà Vu Showgirls club in Tampa and paid $60 plus $20 tip for three lap dances.  The counterfeit bills were so poorly made that club managers quickly notified police.  “All of the bills were obvious fakes with no watermarks and poor quality,” the arresting officer wrote.  Ramirez was charged with felony possession of forged bills.  He posted $4,000 bail and was released.

As for the stiffed dancer?  Unfortunately the club doesn’t cover money entertainers lose to counterfeiters, but they did reimburse her $50 house fee.
