Bozo Sapien Photo by I'm Fantastic @ flickr

From Denny: This Cajun joke is in dialect and so I put a few translations behind some of the questionable words for readers for whom English is a second language.

BOAT FOR SALE

Thibodaux marches up to Beaudreaux’s front porch and wraps (knocks) hard on the door so, of course, Beaudreaux opens it to greet his friend.

Thibodaux say, “Beaudreaux! How long we ban frands?” (been friends)

Beaudreaux say, “Well, all our lives Thibodeaux.”

Thibodaux say, “Why don’t you told me you gotta boat?”

Beaudreaux say, “I ain't gotta boat!”

Thibodaux say, “Da’ sign say: 'BOAT FOR SALE.'"

Beaudreaux say, "Oh, no, Thibodaux!” See dat old ‘72 Ford
pick 'em up truck over dare?” (over there)

Thibodaux say, “yas, I see dat old pick 'em up truck” (pick-up truck)

Beaudreaux say, “See dat ‘76 Cheverloet Ce-dan?” (sedan)

Thibodaux say, “yas, I see dat Ce-dan.”

Beaudreaux say, “Well, dey boat for sale (they are both for sale)

Cajun Joke: Boudreaux and Thibodeaux Fix Destroyed New Orleans Levee

Gentilly, New Orleans, after the huge levee failure in 2005 - Photo by Infrogmation @ flickr.

Good News, everyone!

We hear the New Orleans levee is finally fixed properly. Worry no more about whether the Army Corp of Engineers and the federal government will get it right this time. Our own local boys, Boudreaux and Thibodeaux have solved the problem.

What did they do the feds couldn't do? Well, we all know that Boudreaux and Thibodeaux are well known for how smart they are. They fixed the levee by erecting a hurricane fence!

Thanks, y'all, we all feel so much safer now...

Cajun Joke: Boudreaux and Thibodeaux Play Golf

From Denny: Louisiana folks have an endless supply of Boudreaux and Thibodeaux jokes they tell for generations, using the local French-accented dialect, enjoy!

From: maremare @ StumbleUpon who is from Sunshine, Louisiana



Boudreaux and Thibodeaux Play Golf

Boudreaux decided to go play a game of golf with his good friends Thibodeaux and Guidry one morning. He promised his wife, Clotile, that he would be home in time for lunch. Well, lunchtime came and went, and no Boudreaux. Mid afternoon came and went, still no Boudreaux. Suppertime passed, and Boudreaux finally shows up about an hour later. Clotile is, of course, just a little bit mad.

"Boudreaux, where have you been ? You say you gonna be home by lunch, and here it is dark time, and you jus now gettin' home !"

Boudreaux says, "Clotile, don' get on my case. My good fren, Guidry, died on de golf course dis morning."

Clotile says, "Oh, Boudreaux, I'm so sorry. I can understan' now; makin' funeral arrangements for your fren, and all. I understan' why you late."

Boudreaux says, "Funeral arrangements. What funeral arrangements? It was 'Hit de ball, drag Guidry. Hit de ball, drag Guidry.’ It took me and Thibodeaux all day to finish the game!”

Funny Cajun Joke - Emile and The State Trooper

From Denny: Keep in mind that just about every Cajun joke starts out with the main characters as Pierre, Emile or Boudreaux, a couple of dense guys who are "country come to town." This joke is so typically ridiculous of a Cajun joke you can't help but grin!

Emile and the State Trooper

Emile was driving his pick'um-up truck down the river levee pretty fast one day. A Louisiana State Trooper spotted Emile, and took off after him, but Emile, well, he just kept going faster and faster you see.

The trooper was so angry he turned his lights on and his siren started blaring, but Emile, that crazy Cajun, he just kept going. After about twenty miles, Emile, well, he had bad luck; he ran out of gas, and was forced to a stop.

The red-faced furious trooper jumped out of his car yelling at Emile, "Why didn't you stop? I know you saw me!"

Well, Emile, innocently he says to the trooper, "Well, officer, I'm truly sorry for dat. But you see, a few years ago my wife, Marie, she ran off wid a state trooper. Well, you see, when I saw you, I thought I was cooked for sure because maybe you was him tryin' to bring her back. So, you can understand why I was tryin' so hard to get away fast.
