Matron duties-toilet paper

I remember a stories my gramma would tell about being a matron. She told them many times and it was funny every time. She really enjoyed telling them and would recount to anyone who would listen.

Back in the forties police officers were not allowed to handle females so they would call in the matrons. They weren't considered police they were just called when a female officer was needed. Well needless to say my gramma worked with a lot of prostitutes and her stories are mostly about them.

One day the police was having a time with a prostitute and they called my gramma for help. This prostitute was on a bed and would not get up for the officers. She laid there kicking and screaming calling them all kinds of names. My gramma shows up and tries to get this woman off the bed. All the while this woman is screaming racial slurs at her, telling her not to put her nasty black hands on her etc.. My gramma, after awhile of listening to all this talk gets tired of this woman's tantrum. She looks at the woman in the eyes and says, "My skin may be brown but I still wipe my ass with white toilet paper." This stuns the woman and my gramma is able to get her off the bed and on to jail.
