One time, ol' Thibedeaux wanted his favorite meal, blue crabs. His big fat wife said, "Arright Thibedeaux, I tol' you wot I'm gonna do. I'm goin down to de bay an caught you some blue crabs, cher. An den I'm gonna fix you de bes' boiled blue crab you eva did have." Thibedeaux said, "Whoo, big fat wife, dat would be mo' betta dan blackberry wine, cher!"

The next morning, Thibedeaux's big fat wife got ready to go catch some blue crabs down at the bay. Thibedeaux said, "Wot time you is goin to be back home, big fat wife?" She said "I'll be home in time to clean an cook dem crabs for suppa, Thibedeaux."

All day long Thibedeaux waited for his big fat wife to get home. It got to be about five o'clock, and Thibedeaux thought, "My big fat wife mus' be catchin a big mess a dem blue crabs or she woulda been home by now."

Then it got to be about nine o'clock and Thibedeaux's big fat wife still wasn't home. Thibedeaux thought, "Whar in de worl' be my big fat wife?"

Thibedeaux said, "Sheriff, my big fat wife wen' down to de bay to caught me some blue crabs dis mornin, but she still not home." The Sheriff said, "OK Thibedeaux. We'll go out to fin' yor big fat wife."

At one AM, Thibedeaux heard a knock at the door. It was the Sheriff. Thibedeaux asked, "Sheriff, did you fin' my big fat wife?" The Sheriff replied, "Thibedeaux, I got some good news an I got some bad news."

Boudreaux Working at a Drugstore

Boudreaux got himself hired at a drugstore, but a salesman he was not. He could never find the items that the customers wanted and the boss told him that the next time he missed a sale, it would be his last.

Thibodeaux came into the drugstore about that time looking for cough syrup cause he was coughing real bad. He asked Boudreaux for the best cough syrup that they had. Boudreaux looked and looked, but he couldn't find the cough syrup.

Remembering what his boss had told him he decided to improvise and make a sale. He gave Thibodeaux a box of Ex-lax and told him to take all of it at one time. Thibodeaux did what Boudreaux told him to do and then walked outside and leaned against a telephone post. The boss came over and asked what that was all about. Boudreaux said "He wanted something for his cough, but I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I substituted Ex-lax and told him to take it all at one time."

"Ex-lax? That won't cure a cough!" the boss shouted, really mad. "Sure it will," said Boudreaux pointing at Thibodeaux leaning on the post. "Just look at him. He is afraid to cough, now!"
