Over the course of two nights, untold man hours and at great expense, the Lenexa police Department brought down 5 Johns in a prostitution sting. We can all breath a sigh of relief, the streets are safe, nobody will be buying unenthusiastic, on the clock punanny in Lenexa anytime soon. And channel 5 was there!The reporter Betsy Webster asked one of the unlucky 5 why he was there, he answered he was there to buy a car. Sounds reasonable to me. The giant rubber fist, wig and extra virgin olive oil he was carrying in his trench coat, sans pants, belonged to someone he loaned his coat to. Okay , I made up that last part.
Maybe now that they have cracked this monumental 5 misdemeanor caper, they can focus on the 300 drunk JOCO lawyers leaving The Angry Tortoise, or whatever yuppster bar they drink in. Don't get me wrong, I have no sympathy for any uber loser who gets caught trying to rent some burnt out strippers WhoHaa. Most of them are married, and lets face it, a little creepy, so its not like they are innocent victims who just want to cuddle with some red eyed ex-peeler named Ambrosia or Mercedes. And of course there is always talk of the Pimps exploiting the delicate flower turned BJ queen, But think about this, you rarely hear of the pimp getting popped. It happens, but more often than not its the hooker or the hookie getting pinched. This leads me to think that the vast majority of women in the sex trade in our fair city, are of an independent/ pimpless nature.
The fact that this latest sting will have as much effect on prostitution as Nancy Reagan's Just Say No campaign had on drugs, wont stop KcTV 5 from giving it plenty of coverage. And what the hell, it gives me someone to poke fun at, pun intended.
