The Louisiana State Police received reports of illegal cock fights being held in the area around LaFayette

and duly dispatched the infamous Detective Desormeaux to investigate.

He reported to his sergeant the next morning. "Dey is tree main groups in dis cock fightin'" he began.

"Good work. Who are they?" the sergeant asked.

Desormeaux replied confidently, "De Aggies, de Cajuns, and de Mafia."

Puzzled, the sergeant asked, "How did you find that out in one night?"

"Well," was the reply, "I went down and done seed dat cock

fight. I knowed the Aggies was involved when a duck was entered in

the fight."

The sergeant nodded, "I'll buy that. But what about the others?"

Desmoreaux intoned knowingly, "Well, I knowed de Cajuns were

involved wen summbody bet on de duck."

"Ah," sighed the sergeant, "And how did you deduce the Mafia was involved?"

"De duck won." :)

Being an AGGIE who owns a DUCK, lives in Cajun land, and won money on the fight, dajarrel at the Gator match will have to meet my bent nose buddies who run a swamp tour company.................... :D:D:D

My wife's parents are full blooded Cajuns and so is she. I'll probably tell her the joke, definitely not her parents. The first time I met them they would stare at me, shake their heads, and rattle off in Cajun-French..... I have no idea what they were saying, I guess that was the point.

My wife claims she doesn't speak Cajun, but she swears at me using the language.

I quickly learned that "cujon" (phonetic spelling) means idiot......

Cajuns are usually the first to laugh at themselves.

Keep 'em coming!

Couon would be better translated as FOOL instead of Idiot.

Many of us who don't actually speak Cajun French, use the words, expressions and phrases that we grew up hearing out of the mouths of our parents.

P.S. - Our parents were whipped at school for speaking French, and were taught that it would be very Un-American to teach their children the language. Now we're forcing kids to take foreign languages in school. Go Figure.
