Whut ah heah yo' could do, wherevah yore prosecutor wuz, dey tell me yo' git a piece of papah an' write his name nine times. An' git chew 25 pounds of ice an' break it half in two, an' put de papah in between dere, an' put de piece of ice on top of it, about a day befo' de trial. An' when yo' go tuh co't, dey say he really won't prosecute yo'. Dey say dat's purtty good fo' dat.
