[Hoot Gibson]

Years ago, a Johnson County businessman who sold illegal fireworks and bootleg 8-track tapes heard on his police scanner that he was about to be raided by federal agents. He moved most of his tapes to a back room and apologized for having such a small selection on hand. He told them that he expected to receive a big shipment in a couple of days and suggested that they come back another time. They took the bait and returned a few days later to find no signs of any contraband.
