One fine afternoon in southern Louisiana, Boudreaux was drivin' his old pickup truck down da highway. He was takin' his time, cruisin' along at a leisurely pace of 12 miles an hour. Meanwhile, other drivers were zoomin' past him, honkin' their horns and shakin' their fists.
Eventually, a sheriff noticed Boudreaux's painfully slow speed and decided to pull him over. The sheriff, shakin' his head, approached the driverās side window. Boudreaux, with his usual calm demeanor, rolled down the window and greeted the sheriff with a friendly, "How ya doin', Sheriff?"
The sheriff, tryin' to suppress a chuckle, asked, "Boudreaux, why in da world are ya drivin' so slow on dis here highway?"
Boudreaux, lookin' genuinely puzzled, replied, "Well, Sheriff, I saw da sign back dere and it said da speed limit is 12 miles an hour. So, datās what Iām doinā."
The sheriff couldnāt help but laugh. "Boudreaux, you couyon! Dat sign wasnāt da speed limit. Itās da name of da highway ā dis here is Highway 12. Da speed limit is actually 65 miles an hour."
Boudreauxās eyes widened in realization, but before he could respond, the sheriff noticed Thibodeaux sittin' in da passenger seat. Thibodeaux looked pale as a ghost, grippin' da seat with white knuckles, and his eyes were wide with terror.
The sheriff, concerned, leaned over and asked, "Thibodeaux, you alright dere? You look like youāve seen a ghost!"
Thibodeaux slowly turned his head towards the sheriff, his voice tremblin' as he spoke. "Sheriff, Iāll be alright... but I sure do wish you would've stopped us five minutes ago when we was drivinā on Highway 105!"
