Hookah Hijinks

When Justine Graci, 28, was turned away from the Sultana Hookah Lounge in Allentown, Pa., he didn’t give up easily: he attempted to sneak in through a ventilation duct. Unfortunately, he got stuck at a curve, and instead of gaining access to the lounge, he had to be cut out by rescue crews and was arrested. Graci pled guilty to criminal mischief and public drunkenness. “How much did you drink?” Northampton County Judge Stephen Baratta asked. “More than I should have,” Graci answered. When his defense attorney, Anthony Rybak, called his client “Spider Man”, Baratta corrected him: “He’s the drunken Spider-Man,” the judge said, “because the superhero wouldn’t get stuck in the vent.” (MS/Morning Call) ...He’s the Broadway version, not the comic-book version.
