We LOVE Rome...

Apparently, in Italy, you can make love in the men's room (or ladies', depending) in a bar, as long as the door is shut.

A Swiss couple was accused of committing obscene acts after the owner of a bar in the northern Italian town of Como caught them having sex in the lavatory, Ansa news agency reported.
State prosecutors demanded a six-month prison term for the un-named male defendant and a five-month term for his partner.

[VC: That seems a bit harsh, doesn't it?]

This may not appeal to many of you, but having recently "known of" a "couple" that tip-toed away from their party to try just that, I have to agree with the Italian court and the Honorable Judge Luciano Storaci, who threw out the case.

However, he fined the Swiss man 200 euros ($246) for breaking the lock on the lavatory after he was caught with his trousers down.
"If the barman had given me time to get dressed then nothing would have happened," Ansa quoted the Swiss woman as saying. (Thanks to Yahoo)
