Shockingly, His Name Isn't McCartney
Though I'm sure Macca was often tempted
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- A Florida man is accused of ripping off his wife's prosthetic leg during a fight after leaving a sports bar.Officers in Port St. Lucie said they found a 29-year-old woman in a sport utility vehicle Tuesday night with a bruised eye and missing a leg and pants.
Police then questioned the woman's husband, Luis Ramirez, 35, who said he was arguing with his wife after leaving a bar, TCPalm reported. He denied stealing her leg.
The woman told police that Ramirez became possessed and started screaming.
Ramirez was jailed on battery charges, Local 6 reported.
For those non-lawyers amongst our readership: "stealing a leg" in Florida is not a felony...it's a "misde-femur."

Well, I wouldn't count on Mrs. Ramirez footing the bill.

Damn, there's no kneed for this kind of behavior.

This must be a variation of "Break a leg, honey!"
Not that she would be worrying about an acting career in a joint like that.

Stockingly, I keep looking at the story from different ankles. Still, I can't come up with any decent justifica-shin for the man's actions.

Cullen, try this on for thighs: maybe he has a tendon-cy or perhaps a weak knees for limb-er women.

Bing, all things being equal, I don't think your theory has a leg to stand on. Sure, when one is in the toes of passhin, one might just sock it to 'em, but that doesn't make one less of a heel.

I calf to agree with Cullen.

Wait, nobody's talking about the fact that her *pants* were also missing? I'm toe-tally surprised by that.

At least she's still alive and kicking. But who's going to foot the bill at the bar?
