Actor shows restaurant he's no scrooge, tips big

EMMITSBURG, MD.--Comedic actor Bill Murray was a big hit at Chubby's Southern Barbecue when he came in for a pulled-pork dinner--especially when he piled a $30 tip on top of the $20 meal.

According to the Washington Post, Murray told the staff, "You all pulled my pork better than any place I've ever been," and autographed a menu.

The Post reported that Murray's waitress, Colleen Murphy Cubbedge, turned down the tip, saying it was too much. But Murray retorted, "You will take it!" and Cubbedge accepted the money.
