They can make a fortune

Boudreau and Thibodaux are walking down the street in Beaumont, right over the Louisiana line in Texas , and they see a sign on a store which reads:

  Suits $5.00 each!      Shirts $2.00 each     Pants $2.50 each..

Boudreau says to his pal, “Look here, Thib, we could buy a whole  gob of these, take ’em back to Lafayette, sell ’em to our  friends and them other coonies down in the bayou, and make a fortune.  Just let me do the talkin’ ’cause if they hear your accent, they might think we’re ignorant Cajuns, and won’t wanna sell that stuff to us.  Jes watch,  I’ll talk real sophisticated so’s they think we is from Lufkin or somewheres over here in Texas .”

They go in and Boudreau says with his best fake sophisticated Texas accent, “I’ll  take 50 of them suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them there shirts at $2.00 each, 50 pairs of them there pants at $2.50 each.  I’ll back up my pickup and…”

The owner of the shop interrupts. “Ya’ll Cajuns are from over by Jeanerette, New Iberia or somewheres,  aren’t you?”

“Well…yeah,” says a surprised Boudreau. “How come you knowed that?”

“Because this is a dry cleaners.”
