The Police Chief in Abbeville, Louisiana called up Boudreaux, a small town policeman in nearby Erath, Louisiana. He asked Boudreaux if he could come in and talk about some undercover investigative work he wanted him to do.
When Boudreaux arrived the Chief told him, “Boudreaux, we have reports of an illegal cock fighting ring operating right our noses in Abbeville. None of my policemen have been successful in finding where these cock fights are taking place and shutting the operation down. I need an out-of-town officer like you that no one will recognize to go undercover and see if you can help bring these people to justice. Find out where these fights are taking place, go to the fights tonight and report your findings back to me tomorrow.”
So Boudreaux made a few calls, found out where the cock fighting was taking place, dressed in street clothes and headed out to the location that night. He watched the fights and took careful notes.
The next morning he reported back to the Police Chief. “Chief, Deys three groups involved in tha cock fights. De Texas Aggies. De Cajuns, and de Mafia,” said Boudreaux proudly, looking around at the other policemen present with that cocky “I’m better than you” glean in his eyes.
“We have been trying to crack this ring for 3 months Boudreaux. How did you figure it out in one night?” exclaimed the Chief.
“Well, it was really quite simple Chief. I knew dem Aggies wuz involved when someone entered a duck in tha cock fight.
And I knew de Cajuns wuz involved when someone bet on de duck.
And I nu fo shor tha Mafia was involved when de duck won.”
