Boudreaux and Thibodeaux are from Louisiana and visiting a relative at the Huntsville, Texas prison. Walking along Sam Houston Street, they see a sign which reads: 'Suits $5.00 each, shirts $2.00 each, trousers $2.50 per pair.’
Boudreaux says to his pal, "Hey Thib, LOOK! We could buy a whole lot of dose, and when we get back to Lafayette, we could make a fortune.
“Now when we go into da shop, you be quiet, hokay? Just lemme do all da talkin' cause if dey hear our Cajun accents, dey might not serve us.
“I'll speak in my best Texas drawl."
They go in and Boudreaux orders 50 suits at $5.00 each, 100 shirts at $2.00 each and 50 pairs of trousers at $2.50 each.
The owner of the shop says, "You're from Louisiana, aren't you?"
"Oh, ... yes," says a surprised Boudreaux. "How come you know dat?"
The owner says, "Cause this is a dry-cleaners."
