Just because Sandee of Comedy Plus no longer hosts Silly Sunday does not mean i will quit telling Cajun jokes.
Yesterday's visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house went very well, and we got to go spend time with my brother, the children's Uncle P, and his wife. While at their house, we asked if he wanted to come to the flea market with us, and he said that no, he was going to be lazy and spend his Saturday at home sleeping.
His comment reminded me of Boudreaux.
Boudreaux's boss done call him in de office an' say, "Boudreaux, you be my frien' as well as my employee, so I gots to be honest wit' you. You be de laziest employee I done got here! You allus be tryin' to get out o' de work, an' you take you extra long lunch breaks, an' I know you rather be home ever' day sittin' an' not workin' at all!"
An' Boudreaux say, "Mais! You done bring me to tears! You be my true friend an' de only one dat really unnerstan' me!"

We had a best friend in college who was Cajun. He kept us laughing all the time. I'm not sure if it was the jokes he told or the accent. Love your SIL's art.
ReplyDeleteI love your jokes. That one is a knee slapper and then some.
