...reported last week that you were present, as a reserve Bedford County, Va., sheriff's deputy, at a police raid of an alleged child pornographer's home. But the police went to the wrong house, and the man has filed a complaint, saying he was "scared beyond description." What happened? Because I was there, everybody wants to make a big story about it. It ain't no story. We did everything right, went to the judge, got a warrant. You know, they make it seem like we beat him up, and that never happened. We went in, talked...

...Until a couple of years ago monkeys used to climb the PTI building and try to raid its offices. One of my predecessors glued shut the windows in our office to keep the marauding animals out. The arrival of the langur took things to another level. With their sharp teeth and long, muscular tail that can swot an errant ape from a couple of feet away, langurs are scary to humans - not just a smaller rhesus monkey. Khan says business is good, despite the recent proliferation of competitors. The company he works for employs twelve langurs, including two that...
