And he replied: "Sam Johnsing doan mean nuthin' to rc, see? Ahse e ha'd niggah, Ah is. Cums dishere Sam Johnsing foolin'roun'wid me, Ah jes nachally dulls a razor on his wind pipe. Ah simply knocks hiryr fum amazin' grace into a floatin' oppo'tunity. Ahse a ha'd niggah, an Ah doan mean perhaps. Ah jes' knocks him fer a two weeks furlough, Ah does.
