Best "Ruling" Thread ever?

I've stolen this from another site, but it tickled me pink.
I try to make a rule NEVER to read "Ruling" Threads, because they are all self-serving. You know, "It's not fair mum"
But this is a cracker.

It is a 500 side event at the Belgian Poker Championships. Guy as a joke puts one of his chips in his beer. Very funny! Those Belgians are comedians.
Few hands later he gets carried away and puts half his stack in his beer and doesn't take it out. It is now 5 mins later and we have played a few hands. He has about 6k in his beer glass and about 12k on the table. Action on this hand goes as follows.
Early position raise, mid position call. Action is on chips in beer guy and he does the following.
First he slides his beer glass over the betting line. Next he goes back and grabs the rest of his chips and pushes them forward. Two seconds later he says 'all in'
Is this a raise to 6k or a call?
Is it a string bet?
Or is he all in?
Should he get a penalty for putting his chips in his beer and refusing to remove them?
Thoughts please!"
But speaking hypothetically I agree with FLASHFLUSH's 2nd point
Yet to play in a casino this side of the Atlantic that permits drinks on tables.
What about ordering a coffee and sticking you're whole stack in said coffee. Action folds to you and you look down at AA, nice. Go to fish out some chips to raise but the coffee is too hot for your pinkies. Apologise to the table whilst you wait a few minutes for your beverage to cool down enough to retrieve the chips. Do your raise and the game continues.
Then complain loudly about the lack of sugar in your drink, that will increase your table popularity no?
