But yesterday beat all. Dem boys know dat some ah dem drivers does signal with dem hands when dem want to mek certain yuh know dat dem turning. So dem boys see de car ahead ah dem with de driver hand horizontal, but den he fingers point upwards, den he knack de top ah de roof ah he car with he hand.

“Actually, no,” he say.
“Can you get him fuh me? I need to speak to he,” she said, running she hands beyond he beard and into he hair.
“I’m afraid I can’t,” said de bartender. “But is there anything I can do?”
“Yes. I need for you to give him a message,” she continue, running she forefinger across he lips and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into he mouth.
“What should I tell he?” de bartender stammer.
“Tell him,” she whisper, “There’s no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in de ladies room.”
