How to know if there are alligators in the water in Louisiana
That's pure Cajun there. Also funny as heck. I'd love to send this to my grandson who moved his family to Florida, but he already scowls at me whenever I bring up alligators.
I worked with a Vietnamese guy whose family was relocated to Lake Charles Louisiana, because his father spoke better French than English when they came to the US; he had some great turns of a phrase and a wild accent from spending his youth in Louisiana; he loved people to ask him where he was from and then tell them Louisiana!
She's now in my book of fayvorrite Cajuns, up there with Cajun cook Justin Wilson, and the bayou witch, Tia Dalma, in Pirates of the Caribbean. I garontee it.
Does "if it's wet, then there's gators in it" apply to toilets. If snakes.... Yikes!

O/T, but here is an Italian parody of Wandering' Joe that everybody should see:

Haw! Too real.
ReplyDeleteThe Cajun accent is probably my favorite American accent. Just as the Boston accent...is not.

She's the latest addition to my fayvorrite Cajuns: Cajun cook Justin Wilson, and the Pirates of the Caibbean bayou witch Tia Dalma. I garontee!
