    Lucian's Funny Life Story

    Lucian Dishwashing

    I am from a big family. I was the oldest. I was raised washing dishes. As long as I can remember, I washed dishes, from childhood until today. I actually enjoy washing dishes. It is something that you can do in a short period of time and quickly see the results of your effort.

    I wash dishes the old fashioned way--I wash them by hand. I can wash and dry a meal's worth of dishes faster than most people can put them in the dishwasher. As a result, I know very little about putting dishes in the dishwasher.


    Joke of the Day

    Cadillac

    Husband comes home from work.
    Wife says, “I've got some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first?”
    Husband: “Good News”
    Wife: “The air bags on the Cadillac work fine.”

    Boudreaux (boodro), Fontenot (fonteeno) and Thibodeaux (Tibado) Joke

    Boudreaux had a friend named Fontenot.
    No matter what Boudreaux said, Fontenot would say it could be worse.

    Boudreaux decided to make up a story so bad that Fontenot could not say it could have been worse. Next time Boudreaux sees Fontenot he says, “Hey Fontenot, did you hear that Thibodeaux killed himself Saturday night?”

    “No”, Fontenot said. “What happened Saturday night?” Boudreaux said, “Well, Saturday night Thibodeaux came home and found his wife Marie (Mawree) with another man. Thibodeaux pulled out his gun, shot his wife Marie, shot the other man, then shot himself. What do you think about that for having a bad Saturday?”

    Fontenot thought a while then said, “It could have been worse.”

    Boudreaux got upset. He told Fontenot, “How could you say it could have been worse? Thibodeaux killed his wife, killed another man, and killed himself last SATURDAY! What could possibly be worse?”

    Fontenot tucked his chin down, turned his head slightly, and with a glean in his eye told Boudreaux, “Well it could have been worse for me, Thibodeaux could have come home on FRIDAY NIGHT!!”
