Boudreaux and his wife were asleep when
the phone rang at 2 in the morning.
Boudreaux picked up the phone, listened a
moment and said "How should I know, that's
200 miles from here!" and hung up.
The wife said, "Who was that?"
Boudreaux answered, "I don't know, some
man wanting to know if the coast is clear."

stability."
Two Cajuns are walking down the street. One
notices a compact on the sidewalk and leans
down to pick it up. He opens it, looks in the

The second Cajun says, "Here, let me see!" So
the first Cajun hands him the compact. The
second one looks in the mirror and says, "You
dummy, it's me!"

George Washington had to make before
he crossed the Delaware "
