Way down in Louisiana, Boudreaux's old lady had been pregnant for
some time and now the time had come. So he brought her to the doctor and the doctor began to deliver the baby. She had a little boy and the doctor looked over at Boudreaux and said, "Hey, Boudreaux! You just had you-self a! son! Ain't dat grand!"

Boudreaux got excited by this, but just then the doctor spoke up and
said, "Hold on! We ain't finished yet!" The doctor then delivered a little
girl. He said, "Hey, Boudreaux! You got you-self a daughter! She a pretty
lil ting, too."
Boudreaux got kind of puzzled by this and then the doctor said, "Hold
on, we still ain't got done yet!" The doctor then delivered another boy and
said, "Boudreaux, you just had you-self another boy!"
When Boudreaux and his wife went home with their three children, he
sat down with his wife and said, "Mama, you remember dat night what we
run out of Vaseline and we had to use dat dere tree-in-one Oil?"
His wife said, "Yeah, I do!"
Boudreaux said, "Man, it's a damn good ting we didn't use no
WD-forty."
