(AP) The state's top civil rights official has ruled that taverns cannot offer discounts to women on "ladies nights," agreeing with a man who claimed such gender-based promotions discriminated against men. David R. Gillespie said it was not fair for women to get into the Coastline nightclub for free and receive discounted drinks while men paid a $5 cover charge and full price for drinks.


David, who hasn't had a date in 12 years say's that paying half price to buy a girl a drink on Ladies night is just plain cheap, and unfair because if a lady wants to buy him a drink it costs her twice as much. "This unfair balance just starts every relationship I've had off on the wrong food" said David. When asked why not try meeting women outside of bars and leaving Ladie's Night alone, he responded "Because, I can only talk to women when I'm drunk" - ah, what a charmer.
