ILLEGAL COCKFIGHTS IN LOUISIANA
The Louisiana State Police had received numerous reports of illegal cockfights being held in the area around Abbeville and had sent their famous Detective Boudreaux from Thibodeaux to investigate.
Boudreaux promptly began his investigation and then reported to his Commander the next morning.
"Dey is tree main groups involve in dis rooster fightin," he began.
"Good work! Who are they?" the Commander asked.
Boudreaux replied confidently, "De Texas Aggies, de local Cajuns, and de Mafia from N'awlins."
Puzzled, the Commander asked, "Now Boudreaux, how did you find all that out in one night?"
"Well," he replied, "I went down and done seen dat rooster fight in person.
And I knowed immediately dat dem Aggies was involved when a duck was entered in the fight."
The Commander nodded, "I'll buy that. But what about the others ?"
Boudreaux nodded knowingly, "Well, I knowed de Cajuns was involved when sum body bet on de duck!"
"Ah, I see, I see....." sighed the Commander. "And how did you figure the Mafia was involved?"
"De duck won."

COMPANING CREDIT CARD SIGNATURES
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card.
She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed.
When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt.
So I signed the credit card in front of her.
She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt.
As luck would have it, they matched!

BAD NEWS ON FLORIDA VACATION
While on vacation in Florida, a man received an email from his friend, which read simply: "Your cat is dead."
Distraught at the loss of his beloved pet, the man returned home. After burying the cat he chided his friend for the cold-hearted nature of the email.
"You should break bad news gently," he said. "If I had been telling you that your cat had died, I would have sent an email saying: "Your cat's on the roof."
Then a few hours later I would have sent another email, saying: "Your cat's fallen off the roof and is badly hurt, he's at the vets."
Finally, a couple of hours after that, I would have sent a third telegram, saying: "Your cat has passed away."
That way, I would gradually prepare you for the bad news and you would have been able to deal with it better."
"I understand," said the friend. "I will keep that in mind."
With that, the man returned to Florida to resume his vacation.
Two days later, he received an email from his friend. It read: "Your mother's on the roof."

FATHER, WHAT CAUSES ARTHRITIS?
A semi drunk man who smelled like cheap wine and cigarette smoke sat down on a subway seat next to a priest.
The man's shirt and pants were stained, his hair was long and shaggy, and a half empty bottle of wine was sticking out of his torn coat pocket.
He opened his newspaper and began reading.
After a few minutes the man turned to the priest and asked, "Say, Father, what causes arthritis?"
"My Son, it's caused by consuming too much alcohol, smoking, and not caring about your appearance.
"Well, I'll be, " the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, apologized. "I'm very sorry. How long have you had arthritis?"
"I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does".
