then the Cajun folks ain't but around the corner with their crayfish pie, gar balls and bodan, we joke about roadkill stew and the backwards ways they have especially when you hear them talk about themselves in sticky situations a 2x4" board gets translated to four by two lumber, and they always got to make a second trip to town for the nails..... and another finely for the saw and hammer.....
