Boudreaux and Thibodeaux

[gitchesum]

Pronounced Boo-droe and Tib-a-doe for you Northerners.



This story happened about a month ago in a little town

in Louisiana, and even when it sounds like an Alfred

Hitchcock tale it's real. This guy was on the side of

the road hitch hiking on a very dark night in the

middle of a storm. The night passed slowly and no cars

went by. The storm was so strong he could see hardly a

few feet ahead of him.



Suddenly he saw a car slowly looming, ghostlike, out

of the gloom. It slowly crept toward him and stopped.

Reflexively, the guy gets into the car and closes the

door, then realized that there was nobody behind the

wheel. The car slowly starts moving again.



The guy is terrified, too scared to think of jumping

out and running. The guy sees that the car is slowly

approaching a sharp curve. The guy starts to pray,

begging for his life, sure the ghost car will go off

the road and he will plunge to his death when, just

before the curve, a hand appears thru the window and

turns the steering wheel, guiding the car safely

around

the bend.



Paralyzed with terror, the guy watches the hand

reappear every time they reach a curve. Finally, the

guy gathers his wits and leaps from the car, and runs

to the nearest town.

Wet and in shock, he goes to a bar and, voice

quavering, orders two shots of tequila, and tells

everybody about his horrible, supernatural experience.



A silence envelopes everybody when they realize the

guy is apparently sane and not drunk.

Then, from the other end of the bar, a voice exclaims:









"Boudreaux, that's the idiot that rode in our car when

we were pushing it!!"

Same two guys

First, what are you doing up a 2:00 AM? Second, that sounds like the same two guys I was talking to a couple weeks ago. One of them had his girlfriend out on a dark lane one night and nature called so he told her to excuse him for a minute, he exited the car and walked to the rear a short distance and began to relieve himself when in a loud voice someone let out with a string of profanity. He shouted "watch you language, I have my girlfriend in the car". The voice replied "Whatcha think I got in this ditch, an alligator?"
