    Another game played at wakes was "my man John"...

    (continued from previous page)
    cap would go to this person and ask him the same questions and if he wasn't able to answer them he would get blackened. Nobody would know who my man John was until somebody would happen to give his name. Then when the contrary cap would happen on him the game would be finished.
