Byard is out of town fishing, so as the ONLY available moderator of
the VFB, and thereby saying anything I want to say on the VFB, I hereby
offer this FISHING RELATED Cajun joke/quote. This will re-start my
daily quotes, as I have just returned from the N. Padre Island and
fishing the Salt. If any of you are offended by this joke/quote by a
well known VFB'er, I'm truly sorry. Actually, Me - - I don't give a
D***. :-P
P.S. Thanks to Rick Zieger for handling the Daily Quote for me while I
was catching fish in the SALT.
Bayou Poetry
One day, while fishing under the I-10 bridge in the Atchafalaya Basin,
Boudreaux made a confession to his two friends, Thibodeaux and Fontenot.
"We all been friends for tirty year and been tru a lot. I never
told ya'll dis befo 'cause I! don't wanna ruin our friendship, but I'm
gay."
Fontenot looked over at Thibodeaux and say, "We kinda figured dat
out a while back, but wadn't gonna say nuttin' 'cause we din't wanna
embarrass you."
Boudreaux thanked them for their understanding and continued, "Da
reason I'm tollin' ya'll dis is 'cause I got AIDS and I got six munt to
liv. Ya'll da only family I got lef and I want ya'll to promise me dat
yall wont let dem bary me. I'm scared of dem caskets and I wanna be
cremate. Den, I want ya'll to trow my ashes from dat bridge up dair
into dis swamp where we've spent so much time together."
Fontenot and Thibodeaux wiped back a few tears, then agreed to do
what their friend as asked.
Sho' nough, six munts later Boudreaux died, and they were standin
on the bridge with the ashes.
Fontenot was about to trow dem out when Thibodeaux stop him: "Wait,
you gotta say sumtin," he say.
"I donno what to say. I never waz much bout goin' to church,"
Fontenot admitted.
Thibodeaux, he scratch his head, "Just say somtin'....anyting,
Make it rhyme."
Fontenot, he tought about it a while and started trowin' dem ashes
out over da swamp and say,
"Ashes to ashes,
Dus to dus,
if you liked women,
You'd be here wit us."
