Today’s episode: Mr. Elman’s announcement on the Tale of DJ Flip.

One day Mr. Elman went down to the radio station to see DJFlip. He had an announcement to make. Elman went to the station in a wheelchair with his leg banded up.

Flip: Okay Elman. You’re on the air now.

Elman: Flip, I would like to make an announcement about that singer you’ve been hanging with, Amarah.

Flip: Amarah?

Elman: Yea, that’s right. She shot me in the leg man. And everybody around here in town thinks she’s goody two shoes. That girl’s dangerous. You better leave her alone man.

Flip: What you talking about Elman?

Elman: I was at Miss Grady’s house one day. She had a package on her doorstep. I was gonna let Miss Grady know. I was gonna go around to the back door because I thought I saw her around there. Amarah came after me telling me to drop the package, and she shot me in my leg. I hate that woman!

Flip: Na man! You talking bout my girl. She wouldn’t do nothing like that.

Elman: Okay! Don’t believe. She’s gonna get you next. Wait & See! I ain’t sitting in this wheelchair with bandages on my leg for nothin’. I got witnesses too. And my announcement to the world is watch out for Amarah. And if I were you, I wouldn’t be buying her records. The girl is dangerous, and she’s crazy. Too much crime going around as it is. Ain’t gonna do no good to report it. She’d be out of jail in no time to shoot off my other leg. I heard about that trouble you got in to hanging with her.

Flip: What trouble Elman?

Elman: Fip, you know what trouble. Way out there in Egypt Land.

Flip: I had enough of your jokes man.

Elman: And Amarah looks like an Egyptian lady. You better stay away from her man. She’ll have you layin’ up in bandages looking like a mummy. You see what she done to my leg.

Flip: I don’t believe there is anything wrong with your leg Elman. You just got ailments. Everybody knows that you’ve been stealing from Miss Grady. If Amarah shot you, I’m sure she probably thought it was necessary.

Elman: Now see there you go taking up for them. I ain’t never took nothing from that old lady. And Miss Grady got everybody believing that I have. Miss Grady is telling a tale. She had Amarah shooting at me, and had me flying in mid-air down the street. Ain’t that a blip.

Flip: When did Amarah shoot you Elman?

Elman: Three weeks ago.

Flip: And you just saying something about it? You think police are just gonna knock on your door? Knock! Knock! Who is it? Police!

Elman: Na Flip! If I call them police, they’ll put me in jail. I ain’t going to jail for nobody. They always asking me what I’ve been up to. I might as well take the law into my own hands. And Amarah, if you’re listening, you better watch you’re back!

Flip: Hold up now! Wait a minute Elman! You threatening my girl! Don’t be threatening my girl! You better not go nowhere near Amarah!

Elman: Oh, What you gonna do about it? Give me a ticket? I ought to be the police around here, and give you a ticket for letting your girlfriend carry that gun.

Flip: if you touch Amarah, I’ll go to jail! Case closed!

Elman: Ain’t that a blip! I ain’t even touched her yet, and you already crazy. Well, if you got to go to jail, you got to go.

Flip: Man, get your criminal cripple behind out my station!

Elman: Okay! But I better not see Egyptian lady again! …..
