Boudreaux & Thibodeaux

[Karl/Pa.]

Boudreaux & Thibodeaux were fishing one day when Boudreaux pulled out a cigar. Finding he had no matches, he asked Thibodeaux for a light.

'Shure, I got a lighter,' he replied. Then reaching into his tackle box, He pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.

'Jiminy Cricket!' exclaimed Boudreaux, taking the huge Bic lighter in his hands. 'Where did yew git dat monster??' 'Well,' replied Thibodeaux,

'I got from my Genie.' 'You gots a genie in dat tackle box?' Boudreaux asked. 'Yep, I shure got one. It's right here in my tackle box,' says Thibodeaux. 'Could I see him?' So Thibodeaux opens his tackle box and sure enough, out pops the genie.

Addressing the genie, Boudreaux says, 'Hey dere! I'm a good friend of your Master, will yew grant me one wish?' 'Yes, I will,' says the genie. So Boudreaux asks the genie for a million bucks. The genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving Boudreaux sitting there, waiting for

his million bucks. Shortly, the sky darkens and is soon filled with the sound of a million ducks ... flying overhead. Over the roar of the million ducks Boudreaux yells at Thiboduaux. 'Jumpin' Jimminy Crickets! I axed for a million bucks, not a million ducks!'

Thibodeaux answers, 'Yup, I forgot to tell yew dat genie is hard of hearing. Do ya really tink I axed for a 10-inch Bic?'
