News from PERRINE, By Lee Jordan
T MODEL AND FORD
Ford: Say, Tee, do you know I did go to Miami 'tother day. I met a woman and she had a baby in her arms. Then I met her the second time after the police had arrested her. A policeman asked her what was the baby's name and she said that his name was Jack. Then the policeman said, "Woman, don't you know that no one but the police is allowed to tote a black jack in town?" So the judge charged her $10 and told her not to do it anymore. So, I left her again.
