Louisiana: Did You Hear About Boudreaux and Thibodeaux?

Gumbo, Pierre Part, Louisiana. December 2013.

Mon Dieu! Southern Louisiana has a Mikho and Maro!

In Southern Louisiana, it's about Boudreaux and Marie, a Cajun couple, and about Boudreaux and friend Thibodeaux jokes. (Thibodeaux' wife is Charmaine.)

I fell into this jokester universe when I went to the Spring 2014 season's first Mercredi concert in Carencro, where I met two gents who, I suspect, have many colorful stories to tell about their youth. (One is a story I'm trying to track down about the mammoth crawfish of 1953.)      


The Boudreaux boys


Two men were sitting at the end of the bar, drinking.
One of the men says to the other, "What's your name?"
The other man says, "Boudreaux."
The first man exclaims, "Mine too!"
He asks the second man, "Where'd you grow up?"
The second man says, "Carencro."
The first man exclaims, "Me too!"
He asks the second man, "What street you grew up in?"
The second man says, "Church Street."
The first man cries, "Me too!"

A third man sitting at the other end of the bar takes all this in and asks the bartender, "Who are those guys"?
The bartender says, "They're twins. They always forget after they've been drinking."

Georgian Jokes: A Georgian, An American, and ...

The rabbit

The Georgian, American, and Russian militaries got together for a contest to see who could retrieve a rabbit from the forest faster than the others.

The Americans brought in consultants, psychologists, and military advisors, then went into the forest. They talked to the rabbit for two hours and persuaded him to come out.

The Russians brought in helicopters and planes and bombed the forest. An hour later, they carried out a dead rabbit.

The Georgians went into the forest, whereupon everyone heard terrible sounds of pommeling and beating. Ten minutes later, they came out of the forest with a bear, who promptly signed papers confessing he was a rabbit.


Who do you love?

An American man, a French man, and a Georgian man all had wives and mistresses.

When asked who he loved, the American said, "I love my wife."

When asked who he loved, the French man said, "I love my mistress."

When asked who he loved, the Georgian man said, "I love my mother."
 

Note: I told this joke to my hostess, Nely, who didn't think it was at all funny. After all, Georgian sons should love their mothers best. 

Anything You Wish

A genie escaped from a bottle and he decided he wanted to have sex with three beautiful women: An American, a French woman, and a Georgian woman.

After being with each woman, he granted them one wish.

The American woman said, "I want a mansion on a hill." 

The French woman said, "I want a Porsche."

The Georgian woman said, "Don't let anyone know we had sex."

 
 

Georgian Jokes: Guria

Georgian women from Guria (Guruli women) have a reputation for quick tempers and venomous words.


Did you hear about the Guruli woman who died? 
She swallowed her own saliva. 


Where a Guruli woman pees, the grass will never grow.  

Georgian Jokes: Mikho and Maro

Mikho and Maro are an imaginary married couple from Georgia's Kakheti region.  Every Georgian "knows" Mikho and Maro. Mikho and Maro jokes are part of the Georgian culture. They are often ribald.

After the wedding night

The morning after their wedding night, Maro awakened slowly. She rubbed the sleep out of eyes, looked out the window, and said: "Vy may, even your yard is too small!"
 

How do I look?

Maro stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself. She asked Mikho, "How do I look?"
Mikho said, "Don't worry, my love, it'll be dark soon."

What??

After a night of drinking, Mikho stood in front of the mirror. He looked and looked and looked deeply into the mirror.

Maro walked by and said, "Mikho! What are you doing?"

He shouted with relief, "Mikho! That's what it is!"

Mikho's Mother-in-Law

Mikho's mother-in-law says to Mickho: "You are such a bad person. Why does my daughter love you"?

Mikho replies, "May I take off my trousers"?
