Barmaid with a real sense of humor..

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - An Australian "prankster" barmaid who served a patron a shot of disinfectant has appeared in court over what her lawyers said was a "misguided" joke.

Melbourne barmaid Emily Craig, 23, served a client a single 30ml shot glass of Pine-O-Cleen disinfectant in March during a 6 a.m. drinking bout at Evolution Nightclub, causing him to become violently ill, the Melbourne Magistrates court was told.

"This was a misguided joke at an ungodly hour," Craig's lawyer George Balot told the judge, according to reports on Tuesday in local newspapers.

Police told the court that Craig "was known for her prankster-style behavior" and once covered a bar in sticky tape. She "upped the ante" with her pranks by serving up the powerful floor cleaner after giving the man shots of pure water.

The patron developed ulcers on his skin after drinking the disinfectant shot from Craig, who has since lost her job and faces four charges of intentionally causing injury.

The case was adjourned until February.

I read about that yesterday on the net. I was stunned.

What an incredibly stupid thing to do.

I'll bet he was laughing as his throat blistered and swelled shut.

Some people have a very poor sense of what's funny - I'm generally opposed to (any) form of practical joke on the basis that I wouldn't much like it to be done to me.

Part of me can understand the bar covered in sticky tape...but a shot of floor cleaner? She's lucky she's not up on manslaughter charges to be honest cause he could have died.

Wow.

i agree, there is no excuse for poisoning someone,. He puts trust in the barmaid to serve what he purchases...i see nothing humorous in harming another person

Yeah, the sticky tape is funny but this is out of line!
