The manager doesn't know what Junior's problem is, but the boys like to tease him. The boys say he is two bricks short of a load, or couple fries short of a happy meal. To prove it, sometimes the boys offer Junior his choice between a nickel and a dime. He always takes the nickel, they say, because it's bigger. One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, the store manager got him off to one side and said, "Junior, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?" Junior said, "No sir, you see if I took the dime, they'd quit doing it!" _____________________________________________________   >from Linda ___________________________________________________ Morris, went to his rabbi for some needed advice.

 Man Busted For Battering Girlfriend With Slice Of Pizza 
 A Florida Man slapped his girlfriend in the face with a slice of pizza, leaving her covered in grease, red sauce, and food toppings, according to police who arrested the accused batterer. Responding Wednesday night to a call about a disturbance at an apartment building in Port Charlotte, cops were met by the 51- year-old victim, who said that Sean Metcalf, 59, had "smacked her in the face with a piece of pizza." The woman said she was taking items to the trash when Metcalf became very angry and started to yell at her. Included in the material the woman planned on tossing was a pizza box she mistakenly thought was empty. Sean told her not to throw his things away and became very angry, according to a probable cause affidavit. The victim responded by tossing the pizza box back into the residence, causing slices to escape containment. Metcalf allegedly then approached his girlfriend, picking up a slice of pizza and hitting the victim in the face and chest with it. When questioned by cops, Metcalf admitted losing his cool and yelling at the victim, but denied the dispute became physical. He also claimed to have no idea how pizza got all over the victim. Seen above, Metcalf was arrested for domestic battery, a misdemeanor, and booked into the Charlotte County jail. He was released from custody Thursday after posting $2000 bond. A judge has ordered him to have no contact with the victim.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Anna RE: Power in USB port   Dear Webby, How much power is in a USB port? You mentioned coffee warmers. Don't they take a lot of power? Anna  Dear Anna Those coffee warmers are not for brewing or percolating coffee, but just for keeping your coffee from getting cold and bitter. They take very little power. If you have a Type C USB port, where you don't have to fart around with getting the plug right side up, you can quick-charge a phone or camera or drone airplane. On a PD type you can use a USB Coffee ginder or one cup coffee maker. Don't use them if you are running on the laptop battery! They are intended for use only while plugged into the house or vehicle or boat power. Have FUN! DearWebby
