📖 STORYTIME 📖 • • • In 1938 on his way to see Louis take on Schmeling, Johnson was racing his way through the state of Georgia, where he was nabbed by a state policeman for speeding. The policeman issued Johnson a ticket for $50, which was a lot of money back then. Johnson handed the policeman a hundred dollar bill, to which the policeman proclaimed "I can't make change for that much!" Johnson replied, "keep it, as I will be making the return trip at the same speed." 👑🐐🥊 • • • #jackjohnson #joelouis #maxschmeling #storytime #georgia #speeding #officialboxinggods #boxinghalloffamelasvegas #boxing https://www.instagram.com/p/CI97wr4lc_V/?igshid=13qzngwqlsrs4
