@very-rusty saidIs this your own recollection, or did you read it somewhere?
Yes Johnny Carsen was a very funny man, full of jokes. I think he started each show with them.

@hakima saidPedantic much?
Robbery is when a person takes something that you own by using force or intimidation in your presence.
Burglary is when someone enters your property without your consent with the intent to take your property.
Attempting to cheat or commit fraud is what was described in the OP.

@suzianne saidAre you trying to age me Suzie Q? 😛 🙂 All you'd get would be rough idea as Johnny Carson was on for many years (30 I believe) and had all the big stars on his show. If you made his show you were a somebody in entertainment! Sometimes had people on that were on the rise were going to be big stars. I am pretty sure the show was on before you were born Suzie Q!!! 😉

@trev33 saidDefinitions are important, especially when determining levels of criminal acts or allegations. The magnitude and potential to physical human harm between being defrauded and robbed is vast. IMO, definitions guide human responses and future responses to potential danger. This shapes how humans approach the world and interact with other humans.
Pedantic much?
Yes, I pedantic all the time...it’s also referred to as critical thinking.

@divegeester saidSo did the afore mentioned parking ticket machine approach you brandishing an offensive weapon or implying the possibility of an offensive weapon with the purpose of acquiring your property or property that was about your person and to which the parking meter had no rights of ownership, either by deed of title or previous loan arrangement, with a view to unlawfully retaining said property without prior authority of the owner or selling it on to it's dodgy mate who does drugs.
Spending the afternoon on the beach, so I’m expecting to be mugged by the parking ticket machine.

@relentless-red saidNo, robbery is when someone uses force or intimidation to take your property. They are removing the property, not the person being robbed. That would be kidnapping and could co-occur.
So if somebody robs me they have to remove me from my house?
@hakima saidAh, but that would be if somebody robbed my property. I said that somebody robbed me?

(This may not cross the Atlantic, but who robbed you is scouse. So on this side of the Atlantic the way to pick me up on my grammar is to say that I meant 'who robbed from you'. Then you are proper posh.)

@relentless-red saidAha! I think I understand...whilst the OP was in a manner of speaking, my response was dealing with the legalese (a language with its own particular definitions). It made me research whether the legal definitions are are the same on either side of the Atlantic and I discovered that they are.

My British friends tease me about my American usage of language and quite George Bernard Shaw, stating that we are “...two countries separated by a common language.”
They can’t wait for me to visit so they can set me in a pub and let me speak, anticipating great entertainment.
