Boudreaux and Thibodeaux were going on a hunting trip.
They had been hunting buddies all their lives. But on this trip, Boudreaux just wasn't "pulling his share of the load." He wasn't helping Thibodeaux do anything. Thibodeaux set up the camp. Thibodeaux cut and gathered up the firewood, and built the fire. They hadn't brought any food, because they were cajuns, and were always successful at killing or catching whatever they needed for food.
Boudreaux didn't bring in any game this time. The hunting was tough, and although Thibodeaux hunted hard, all he killed was two squirrels, and one of them was very small. When Thibodeaux came back to the camp site, it was dark, and cold. The fire had died down, and Boudreaux was just sitting there. Trying to be a good buddy, Thibodeaux said nothing, threw more wood on the fire, cleaned the squirrels, cut the onions, and began cooking supper. All this time, Boudreaux did nothing.
Two hours later, when it was time to eat, Thibodeaux, being a typical cajun, said, "Boudreaux, come get you some." Also being a typical cajun, Boudreaux said, "Non, non, you go ahead, cher." As a good cajun cook never eats his own cooking until everyone else has served himself, Thibodeaux said, "Mais non, I insist, you go on, eat." This went on, back and forth, for a while. Finally, Boudreaux agreed to go first. He went to the pot with his plate, and don't you know, he served himself the big squirrel, and left Thibodeaux the measly little one.
Well that was the straw that broke the camel's back! Thibodeaux had had it! He yelled at his old buddy, "Boudreaux, mais I can't believe you went an done dat."
Boudreaux, looking surprised, answered, "Mais, Thibodeaux, what you mean?"
Thibodeaux says, "Mais, you went and took dat big squirrel, an hardly left me nothing."
Boudreaux says, "Mais Thibodeaux, if you woulda been me, what you woulda done?"
Thibodeaux answered, "Mais, I woulda took the little one."
Boudreaux says, Mais, it's still there!"
