If LSU fans are driving around town, do not >> let your kids stick their heads out of your car window and sniff the air. >> No. Keep your windows rolled up. An odd change in their expression - >> indicating they smell corn dogs - might get a wrench or pipe or some other >> object tossed at your windshield. So, that's >> dangerous.

Okay, maybe there's no mystery there - maybe >> they already ate the corn dogs. Who knows? >> >> Maybe there's a corn dog factory in Baton Rouge and they all work there. >> Maybe, there's a corn dog lotion that they wear, or a French perfume.

The big political issue >> during the city election is whether they should add more ketchup or more >> mustard to the water. Don't comment on it though. It's not politically >> correct over there. It's like a malnutrition issue or something. It's like >> the corn dogs are probably added to the water to prevent starvation or >> something. >> >> I know when you go to Baton Rouge, you're thinking: "Ahhhh.

They smell just like corn dogs. >> >> In fact, please listen to my advice. Leave them alone about the corn dog >> odor. And don't try masking the odor with something stronger. They'll curse >> at you. They'll say something like: "WTF, how dare you smoke a cigar in my >> home," or "WTF!! Are you too good for the smell of corn dogs?" and they'll >> cuss out your kids too: "WTF!!! Little Mister fancy pants over here acts >> like he doesn't want to smell like corn dogs." >> >> Cajuns are not like us. Don't you see that, yet? They are really sensitive >> about being sniffed and about their corn dog aroma. They know they smell >> like corn dogs and it is no laughing matter to them at all. I know, I know. >> We sniff the bammers and the UGA dawgs and the Ole messes, and we keep a >> straight face with each of them, but don't press your luck with the Cajun >> tiger fans. Don't refer to Death Valley as corn dog valley either. I mean >> that's just wrong. Even if you've been drinking, they'll beat you up and >> curse out your kids. >> >> Along these lines, be extra careful when you laugh in their direction - even >> if you're laughing about something else.

We lost a campus building over just one snort. >> >> So, just remember. You can love one another without sniffing each other. You >> can enjoy the clash of a couple of good football teams. You can enjoy the >> thrill of the rivalry. But after the game, please heed my words. Please just >> move along. No sniffing the opposing fans this Saturday. Okay?
