Chris' Good Humor Page - Boudreaux and Clarence 

Chris' note:  To be read with a very deep Louisiana swamp Coon-ass accent to enjoy the full effect.

Boudreaux live across de bayou from Clarence who he don like at all.

Dey all de time yell across de bayou at each other.

Boudreaux would yell to Clarence, "If I had a way to cross dis bayou I'd come over dere an beat you up good, yeah!"

Dis went on for years.  Finally de state done built a bridge across dat bayou right by dere houses and Boudreaux's wife Marie say, "Now is you chance Boudreaux. Why don you go over dere an beat up Clarence lak you say."

Boudreaux say, "ok" and start across de bridge but he see a sign on de bridge an he stop to read it and then he go back home.

Marie say, "Why you back so soon?" and Boudreaux say "Mais Marie I don change my mind about beat up Clarence. You know Marie dey got a sign on dat bridge what say Clarence 13' 6". You know, he don look near dat big when I yell at him from across de bayou!"
