““When the spies got inside Jericho’s wall, they made a beeline past the apartments and the wall-marts to the whorehouse, where they were taken in by a prostitute named Rahab, who agreed to hide the spies if the Israelites would take care of her when they conquered the city. Not long after, the cops showed up at Rahab’s door and asked if they could look around. “We got a report of some suspicious characters lurking around here.” “This is a brothel,” she said, “we only get suspicious characters around here.” “These guys were foreigners. They wore tassels and smelled like sheep. They were missing a piece off their dicks. You notice anyone like that?” “Oh yeah, those guys were here, all right. They already left, though.” “Are you sure? They were seen here only about an hour ago.” “Most of my guests don’t stay more than ten minutes,” Rahab said. This story seemed to capture the cops’ imagination, so they left Rahab alone.””
