Arrested for Being Prepared

I got arrested on suspicion of attempted rape all because I was carrying some cable ties, a bit of tape and a piece of cloth. It's such a joke, I hadn't even bought the chloroform yet.

The humor comes from the dark implication that the narrator was planning to commit rape and the punchline reveals that they were only in the preparation stages of the crime as they did not acquire the chloroform. The contrast between the seriousness of the crime and the casual tone of the joke makes it darkly humorous.
