Friday Foibles ~~ Oh, Those Blondes!

Three blondes are in an elevator when it suddenly stops and all the lights go out. Their cell phones are out too, so they can't call for help. 


After a few hours of being stuck, one blondes says to the other two, "I think maybe the best way to get someone to help us is by yelling together. What do you think?" 


The other two think hard for a moment, then agree. They inhale deeply and begin to scream at the top of their lungs . . . 


"TOGETHER, TOGETHER, TOGETHER!" 


***If you need another dose of craziness, here's last Friday's post called Insurance Insanity, straight from the wonky workings of my brain. :D 

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Friday Funday ~~ Bad Bad BAD Boo & Thib

 

Thanks to Daddy for forwarding another Boudreaux & Thibodaux joke for us all to enjoy. And thank Y'ALL for all the well wishes and prayers concerning "Big Hairy" (18-y.o. "Court Jester" of my old Ledbetter Lunacy cartoons) and his getting well. His mono symptoms and fever are much better and we got home from the hospital to sleep in our own beds last night. That's all the TGIF I need to have a great weekend!

Hoping same for each and every one of y'all! Now, here's a new chapter in the life of those bad bad Cajun boys, right after a reminder that our fall issue of Rose and Thorn Journal went live today! Go take a browse, add us to Twitter/Facebook, and sign up for the newsletter!!!!! And we lurve feedback. :D

One day, Boudreaux's walking down Main Street when he sees his buddy Thibodaux driving a brand new pickup.

Boudreaux pulls up to him with a wide grin.


"Hey, Thib, where you got dat truck?"

"Mais, Tammy Lou gave dat to me. Ain't it sumpin (something)?" Thib beams with pride.
 Boo replies, "Hooo-boyyy, she juss gave it to ya? Mais, I know'd she was kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?''

"Well, Boudreaux, me too, I was kinda shock, but lemme tole you what happen when she give it to me. We just drivin' out on County Road 6, in da middle of nowhare. All of a sudden, Tammy, she pull off da road, put da truck in 4-wheel drive, and head into da woods. She park dis (this) truck, gets down (term used for "out"), trew (threw) off all her clothes and say, 'Thibodaux, take whatever you want.'"

"So, me, I took da truck!"

"Mais, Boudreaux, you a smart man, yeah! Dem clothes woulda never fit you nohow!"

TGIF ~~ Hellloooooo, October!

We've had about five days in a row of gorgeous fall weather here in Louisiana, and if you've ever been in a sauna, you can imagine our relief and giddiness.

It almost makes you wanna do this...

Friday Foibles ~~ Boudreaux in Big Trouble

Happy weekend to y'all. Now, "less git right to it!"

@@@

Way down In Louisiana, Boudreaux was involved in a terrible vehicle accident caused by an18-wheeler running a stop sign.

In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer fires questions at the Cajun, trying to wear him down. Finally, he asks, "Mr. Boudreaux, didn't you say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?'" 

Boudreaux scratches his head, looks up at the judge, and says into the microphone, "Let me told you what happened. Me, I had jus loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into da..." 

The lawyer bristles and interrupts, "I didn't ask you for any details, Mr. Boudreaux. Just answer the question, please! Did you not say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?" 

Boudreaux, unruffled, anwsers, "I had jus got Bessie into da trailer and I was driving down da road... "

The lawyer interrupts once again and bellows, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the State Policeman that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Can you please direct Mr. Boudreaux to answer the question?"

By this time, the judge is fairly interested in the Cajun's answer, and says to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie."

Boudreaux thanks the judge, invites him to attend the cochon de lait (coo-shaw de-lay) to be held the following weekend, and proceeds, "I had jus loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into da trailer and was driving her down da highway when dis huge semi-truck an' trailer ran da stop sign and smacked my truck right in da side. Me, I was trown (thrown) into one ditch and Bessie was trown into da udder. I was hurting real bad, yeah, and didn't want to  move a muscle. But, I could heard ole Bessie moanin and groanin. Me, I knew she was in some kind o' terrible shape just by her groans."

Boudreaux wipes the tears from his eyes and takes a deep breath before continuing. "Shortly after da accident, a State Policeman, he came on da scene. He herd Bessie moanin' and groanin' so, him, he goes over by her. After he took hisself a look at her, he  takes out his gun and shoots her between da eyes. Den da Patrolman came cross da road, gun in hand, and looked at me. When he axe (asks) me, ' How are you feeling?'...

"...Now what da hell would you say?!"

If you're bored outta your gourd and have nothing to do, here's a re-run of Ledbetter Lunacy ("Meltdown at the Mall) for your viewing pleasure. :)

TGIF and All Like Dat

Sorry, no Ledbetter Lunacy today. I ate up all my "free" time yesterday blog hopping and getting caught up at your places! But, next week, I promise a new episode.

Good news, y'all! Yesterday afternoon the bloginterviewer stats had me in a strong third and creeping up. Go team, go! Momma needs a new pair of shoes! (Oh, wait, I think that's what you say at poker games and the racetrack. LOL) And thank YOU for giving me the finger (thumbs up voting icon) *snicker* many times this week. You hit the icon and it will take you to the site where you click the thumb's up again.

I'm doing a guest gig over at Kathryn's place while she works on her book's galley proof, so if you can, hop on over and give me a shout while I blog sit for her. I think you'll like it.

Since it's Friday, and we're having the most gorgeous weather in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and everyone seems happy, I'll leave you with a funny below. [We love us some Boudreaux & Thibodaux jokes around these parts. Dat's Boo-droe & Tib-i-doe for you who don't speak da Cajun.] Now, you go and have yourself a grand little weekend, ya hear?

Boudreaux was at the bar every day drinking beer. Well, Thibodaux, him wanted to teach Boudreaux a lesson, so he tole da bartender to give him a glass of dat water an' a glass of dat beer. Den, Thibodaux, he went to da outside and found him two worms. He put one in da water glass an' it wiggled all 'round. He put da other in da beer where it curl up an' died.

Thibodaux axed Boudreaux, "Well, you learn anyting?"

And Boudreaux said, "If I keep drinkin' dat beer, me, I wont get da worms!"
