Say cheese steak – and be prepared to shell out $100.

That’s the whopping price the Barclay Prime restaurant in Philadelphia is charging for the city’s famed sandwich, which costs a mere $4 in most eateries around town.

“You shouldn’t mess with the Philadelphia cheese steak. Let it alone,” diner Samuel Lehrer said.

Believe it or not, Mormons do have a devilish sense of humor.

Proof of that can be seen in Provo, Utah, where Brigham Young University students are snapping up thousands of T-shirts that read, “I can’t. I’m Mormon.”

“I am not a playboy. I just love seeing beautiful women,” he insisted.

Having sex in a public bathroom does not violate Italy’s public-decency laws, as long as the door is shut.

The court ruling came after a Swiss couple was accused of obscene acts when the owner of a bar in Como opened the door of the bathroom to find them making love.

Prosecutors demanded prison for the pair, but Judge Luciano Storaci called it an open-and-shut case, with the emphasis on shut.
