Isn't that illegal in some places?

My brother Tommy is 12 years younger than me (he's 25 - you do the math). It was his wedding that brought us all to Key West. His sisters and best man took him out on the Thursday before the wedding for an alcohol-soaked evening of, well, alcohol comsumption. A great band (Shack Daddies) was playing at Sloppy Joe's, and as one of the bandmembers was returning to the stage after a break, we stopped him and told him how great they were, blah blah blah, and would they give a shout out to Tommy and Stacey, who were getting married on Saturday. Being nice guys, the Shack Daddies did indeed give that shout out; they then invited Tommy and Stacey to dance to a song they were dedicating to them. Since Stacey was not amongst our group, Tommy grabs me and takes me out to the dance floor, where we slowdanced as an engaged couple. Soon others joined us. After about two minutes of barely suppressed hysterics, I said to Tommy, "We'd better get off this dance floor before they ask us to kiss." Sufficiently grossed out and laughing, we rushed off the floor and back to our beers. Or shots.
