    One morning a young lady like you see in the pictures was out walking.

    One evening a young lady like you see in the pictures was out walking. She noticed a man following her. She stopped and asked him why he dared to follow her. He said to her "You know yourself Miss". She told him she would have him arrested if continued to follow her. Still he followed her and she eventually had him arrested. The Magistrate asked him why he followed the young lady. "You know yourself Sir". "Six months hard labour", said the magistrate. "For what" said the man. "You know yourself" said the Magistrate.
