Git a dead man's fingah in gamblin' or anythin', any luck; can't beat 'em or nuthin. (Which finger do you take of that dead man? Any finger?) Yo' take dat one [demonstrates]. (You take the index finger of the right hand. By the way, what is the dog finger? What is it? You have heard of it?) Heah's de dog fingah.

(Oh, that is the dog finger, the index finger.)
