"Who-shot-John"

[Wilson Gray]

Among black East Texans, if it appeared that you had showered with
your clothes on and then rolled on the ground to get dry, someone
might exclaim, upon seeing you,

"You look like who-shot-John!"

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
