 Prosthetic Leg Theft Results In Strong-Arm Robbery Charges 
 The theft of a mans prosthetic leg has resulted in strong-arm robbery charges, cops say. According to investigators, Larry Stothers, 41, accused the victim of stealing a backpack. So Stothers and a cohort, 31-year- old Jayson Rappa, allegedly confronted the man Saturday afternoon in Largo, Florida. "A fight occurred between all parties," according to an arrest affidavit. "And in the course of the fight a prosthetic leg was taken from the victim." The man whose leg was stolen fled the scene and sought police assistance. Officers arrested Stothers and Rappa about an hour later, and charged each man with strong-arm robbery, a felony. Stothers (left) and Rappa are pictured in the above mug shots. Court records do not indicate whether the victims leg was recovered.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Edo RE: USB connectors   Dear Webby, There are now different USB Connectors. Which ones are best? Edo  Dear Edo The ones on your machine. You don't really have a choice there. If you have not bought the machine yet, then choose USB-C for versatility and speed, Type PD (Power Delivery) is for fast charging and running small appliances. Type C has almost the same amount of power available, but the really good point of type C is that you don't have to fart around turning it upside down. It works either way. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Bubba and Jake chartered a plane with a pilot to drop them off in the wilds of Alaska for a week of elk hunting, just the same as they did the year before. When the pilot returned with the plane Bubba exclaimed joyfully to the pilot, "We had a great hunting trip! We bagged four elk!" The pilot regretfully explained, "Unfortunately, our plane can only fly with the weight of two elk. You'll have to leave the other two behind." Bubba and Jake were both infuriated and insistent. "We won't allow you to fly this plane out without all four elk," Jake demanded. The eager to please pilot relented and the plane took off with the three of them and their four elk. About fifteen minutes into the flight the engine started to sputter, and within seconds they were hurtling to the ground. Wearily arising from the wreckage, Bubba looked at Jake and wheezed, "Do you have any idea where we are?" Jake, quite pleased with himself, replied, "Yes! We're about a mile from where we crashed last year. ____________________________________________ In the last couple of weeks, I have seen the ads for the Wonder Bra.

"Maybe there's some kind of memory medicine you can give me. See, I'm getting terribly forgetful; I lose track of where I'm going or what I'm supposed to do when I get there. What should I do?" he asked glumly. "Pay me in advance," the doctor promptly suggested. ____________________________________________
