Cajun Joke

We Cajuns like to tell jokes. Our antagonists are usually Boudreaux and Thibodeaux, two long-time friends. This one is from friend Bob, who sends me these things.

Boudreaux enters Thibodeaux's barbershop for a shave. While Thibodeaux is foaming him up, Boudreaux mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks.

Thibodeaux said, "Mais, I'm got just the ting", taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. "Just place dis between your cheek and gum."


Boudreaux places the ball in his mouth, and Thibodeaux proceeds with the closest shave Boudreaux has ever experienced. After a few strokes, Boudreaux asks, "Mais, what if I swallow it?"


"No problem," says Thibodeaux. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does."
