Okay since its my day off and its too damn hot outside to do anything, I'll share a joke with you.
Back where I come from on the bayous of Louisiana we don't have a Bible belt, what we have is a Catholic belt which influences our traditions. And this is where Mardi Gras comes in. Mardi Gras is the last big blowout before everyone's lenten vows kick in. On Ash Wednesday you go to mass and get ashes on your forehead and you make a vow to give something up till Easter. Now most people give up something like drinkin or gamblin or sweets - something like that. Well one time back on the bayou there was an old man Boudreaux who decided to give up having sex with his new young wife as a lenten vow. You see he had just married a beautiful, beautiful young cajun girl and everyone was really surprised that he would make a lenten vow like that. Well about a month later Boudreaux's friend Guidry was passing by and he saw Boudreaux sitting on his porch looking all sad. Guidry called out "Hey Boudreaux! You okay? You lookin kinda down man." And Boudreaux answered "Oh man I done broke my lenten vow" And Guidry asked "What happened?" And Boudreaux replied "Oh man, that new young wife of mine was bent over in the freezer the other day and she was wearing these tight pink shorts and I was staring at that, and man I couldn't take that no more ..No! I reached around there and pulled those shorts down and took her right there bent over in the freezer like that." And Guidry said "Well you know Boudreaux, I was really surprised when I heard that you had made a lenten vow like that." And Boudreaux replied "You think you were surprised? Well you should have seen the looks on everybody's face at the Winn-Dixie." -As told to me by Linda Dufrene.
