Hi, All!

In a textbook "Short stories", by Olly Richards I read the story "Daring
Diabolo" where a criminal boss says to his wife that this town is not needed
for the law.

"There is no law for me. And there ain't no law needed for this town either!"

In his comment the teacher (Olly Richards) tells that "ain't" is  a slang, an
informal way to say and write "am not", "are not", "is not", "has not" or
"have not".

Well, let's get the full version, without the slang:

"There is no law for me. And there is not no law needed for this town either!"

I can't see the sense, although I think I know what he means. ;)

Bye, All!
Alexander Koryagin
