Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

THERE WERE TWO ESCAPED CONVICTS WHO WERE AT THE BORDER OF MICHIGAN
AND OHIO. THERE WAS A ROAD BLOCK, SO THINKING QUICKLY THEY DITCHED
THE CAR QUICKLY IN A FARMER'S FIELD AND FINDING A TRUCK PARKED THERE
THEY GRABBED THE TRUCK AND FOUND A PIG IN THE TRUCK ALONG WITH SOME
OLD RAG IN WHICH THE FARMER USED TO WIPE HIS HANDS. JUST AS THEY CAME
TO THE BORDER THEY DID SOME FAST THINKING. THEY PUT AN OLD DRESS ON
THE PIG AND TIED THE BANDANNA AROUND THE PIGS HEAD AND WHEN THEY
CAME TO THE ROAD BLOCK THEY WERE LET THROUGH. AS THEY PASSED THRU
ONE COP SAID TO ANOTHER. HOW IS IT WHENEVER YOU SEE A GOOD LOOKING
POLISH BROAD SHE IS ALWAYS WITH TWO BLACKS.
