Waiter killed for asking customer to share karaoke microphone
February 12 2003

A waiter was stabbed to death when he asked a drunken customer to share his songbook and microphone with other patrons at a karaoke bar in the Philippines, police said yesterday.

Police officer Marcelino Castillo said 20-year-old Froilan Gargantilla died late Sunday after he was stabbed several times by the suspect, Renato Guevarra.

"Another waiter of the bar was stabbed by the suspect but he was already out of danger," Castillo said.

Guevarra, who was drinking with a friend, allegedly became angered when Gargantilla asked him to share the bar's songbook and microphone with other customers.

Castillo said Guevarra and his friend were already arguing with other customers who were waiting for their turn to sing when the victim intervened.

Village security officials were able to arrest Guevarra as he fled the bar. The suspect was charged with homicide and detained in a police station.

Police were hunting down Guevarra's companion who eluded security officials.

This is why alcohol should be outlawed along with marijuana and other such things. Just too dangerous.

One should learn early in life NEVER to ASK someone who is DRUNK to do ANYTHING.

Like crack and heroin?

Or are you into those things too?

Try to put your bong down for at least 5 minutes.

Your brain cells will love you for it.

Many people think karaoke should be outlawed.

Sometimes you must include the sarcasm tags, and please
keep references to moose and cheese to a minimum.
And never say "hope this helps". Hope this helps.

Oh demon alcohol, 
Sad memories I cannot recall, 
Who thought I would say, 
Damn it all and blow it all, 
Oh demon alcohol, 
Memories I cannot recall, 
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol.

Perhaps there should be sarcasm limits for Newbies/Trolls.

That is a really dumb idea. We should ban Aussies and karaoke microphones.
