Thibodaux was visiting with his friend Boudreaux one day. Boudreaux asked Thibodaux what he had been up to lately. Thibodaux says, “Well, I just came back from Lafayette.”

“What were you doing in Lafayette?” asked Boudreaux.

“I went up dair to buy me a new hunting dog,” replies Thibodaux.

Boudreaux says, “Mais, Thibodaux, what’s wrong with the hunting dogs from around here?”

Thibodaux says, “Well, this hunting dog can walk on water.”

Boudreaux laughs, “Thibodaux, you got fooled. Hunting dogs can’t walk on water.”

Thibodaux says, “I’m telling you. My new hunting dog can walk on water. You want to see?”

So Boudreaux and Thibodaux go out on the lake with Thibodaux’s new hunting dog. Pretty soon, Thibodaux brings down a duck. The dog immediately walks out across the water, retrieves the duck, and jumps back in the boat.

Thibodaux turns to Boudreaux, “So what do you think of dat?”

Boudreaux replies, “That dog can’t swim, can he?”
