This is a Cajun joke from S. Louisiana in case no one has ever heard of dem dare jokes. Boudreaux, Thibodaux, Gautreaux and Pierre all went on a hunting trip. They only had two tents and no one wanted to sleep with Boudreaux because he snored so loudly. The others decided that to be fair they would rotate who had to sleep with Boudreaux. Pierre had to sleep with him first, and he stepped out of the tent next morning grumpy, with bloodshot eyes, and his hair a mess. The rest say "Man you look turibble". He replied, "Man that Boudreaux snore so loud, I couldn't sleep a wink....I just watch him all night long" The next night was Thibodaux's turn. Same thing next morning, Thibodaux all grumpy with blood shot eyes. They all say " Man Thibodaux, you look like a train hit you". Thibodaux say, "Yeah, from the noise you da thought there was a train was in my tent. All I could do was watch Boudreaux snore all night long." Third night was Gautreaux's turn. Next morning he come to breakfast bright eyed and bushy tailed, happy and whistling, and said "Good morning all". They can't believe it. They say "How da hell did you get sleep with all dat snoring?" Gautreaux say, "Well Boudreaux and I get ready for bed and I reach over and kiss him on the cheek and pat his butt and said "Good night sweetpants".........and Boudreaux stay up and watch me all night! I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

It's the funniest if you can pronounce the names.. I'm sorry...I've lived in the south now for almost 12 yrs, been in MS 2 yrs and still don't have a southern accent. Too CA I guess

I bet you sound like the southerns and just can hear it yourself. If you go back to Ca they could tell you lived in the south. Bren's husband told me the first time he heard me talk I sounded like a Newfoundlander. People in S Louisiana came from Novia Scotia so I guess we get the accent from them. And there is plenty of French decent down here in S. Louisiana.

Good one Susie. My hubby had that Cajun accent when I first met him, but now he talks more like us Alabamians. One of his brothers was raised in Louisiana, lived in Alabama a couple of years, joined the Navy and then moved to California, Texas, New Jersey, Florida, and Virginia. You should hear his accent now.

Oh I bet he's all mixed up. My husband was from Mississippi but was raised in Texas and Louisiana too. So he has an unusual one also. Up here where we are they talk more like Mississippi then they do Cajun. We tend to leave the last letter off of everything Bren told me. I don't know............I guess she's right. LOL I can't hear myself talk Sha.
