Did you hear about the mother-of-the-bride who attacked the stripper at her daughter's bachelorette party? Seems the guy was "the wrong man at the wrong time" -- he was running late and filling in for a buddy -- and didn't pay enough attention to the bride. He was hit over the head with a bottle, scratched and punched before escaping and calling police. Mom got 30 court supervision and a $2,500 restitution bill.
