This is some of Joe's best work. I've highlighted the good parts:
As Shawnee police put it, they see a lot of goofy stuff.
Now they have to make sense of Monday reports about an armed traveling salesman, a drunken husband and his innocent wife.
It started when a Shawnee woman told police that she came home to find an armed man in her house who marched her around, told her he was in charge and left.
Then a traveling magazine salesman went to Overland Park police and told them that that woman’s drunken husband forced him to perform oral sex.
The salesman said the husband had invited him in, pulled a gun, demanded sex and passed out during the act, police said. The salesman then picked up the gun and about that time the wife got home, he told them.
The salesman left with the gun and some credit cards and some of the wife’s jewelry, police said, but gave the gun and credit cards to his boss.
For now, the 30-year-old salesman from Fresno, Calif., is in jail under arrest for suspected kidnapping, assault and stealing. Police said they are doing DNA tests to see if the husband should be charged related to a sex act.
“It’s kind of interesting,” said Capt. Bill Hisle, “but it’s kind of messed up.”


No, just go ahead and shoot me.

Messed up is putting it mildly.

Uh. Shawnee? Doesn't this sound like one of James' yarns from Wisconsin?

magazine salesmen are getting more creative! Maybe he should have left out the part about passing out before the act was complete. This won't look good on his resume.
