Abstract
You dreamed yo’ mama died last night—but she been dead for over five years? Damn! sorry about your loss, but that must mean I should quit playin’ “bullshit” this month and switch to playin the dead huh? Let’s see 50 cent straight, and a dolla box—Let me go hit my man up on the phone so I can play my numbers before he gets busy at 5 o’clock. Thanks a lot hear? When I was growin’ up, long before the lottery, runnin’ numbers was a big part of our neighborhood economy.
