Boudreaux and Clarence lived across Bayou Fourchon from each other. Even as kids they hated each other. They cursed and threw rocks at each other for years. Eventually they were grown, married men and still kept up their feud.
There was no bayou crossing for several miles in either direction. Every morning, Boudreaux would go down to the bayou and yell at Clarence, "You're just lucky ya be stayin over there. If I could cross dis bayou, I'd come over there and pound a mud hole in ya butt!"
One day, the state announced a new highway that would run right by Boudreaux's house. The first order of business was to build the road and then the bridge to cross the bayou.
Every day, Boudreaux would go down to the river and yell at Clarence, "Ya just wait, as soon as dey open dat bridge, I be coming over thar and taught you a thing or two!"
The big day finally came for the state to open the bridge.
Boudreaux said to his wife, "I'll be headed over across dat river to teach dat dumb Clarence a lesson he don't soon disremember!"
Boudreaux walked down to the bridge and just stood there looking up. A few minutes later, he returns to his house, head hanging down. Marie axs him, "Cher, what's wrong? I thought you was goin over dere to whip up on Clarence?"
Boudreaux replied, "I started to cross when I looked up and seen dis sign. It said, Clearance 13' 6". Heck, I didn know he was dat big!!!!
