Boudreaux bumps into Thibodeau at Gaston’s Crawfish Shack one afternoon and asked Thibodeau how he was doing. Thibodeau hung his head, shaking it from side-to-side, and said, “Not too good Boudreaux, not good at all. I got a phone call from Deputy Sheriff Landy this morning telling me he had arrested my 14-year old son Tibby for shoplifting. He stole some fishing supplies from Guidry’s Bait Shop.”
Thibodeau went on to say, “I told Landry that Tibby was a good boy, that he had never been in any trouble in his life, and had never stolen from anyone. I asked him what evidence he had on Tibby and why he suspected Tibby was a thief. Landy told me he was able to figure that out automatically because he possessed the end-stink of a highly seasoned and experienced detective. Landry said “End-stink is what got your boy arrested Thibodeau, end-stink!” Dat’s where he lost me, I don’t understand what he meant when he said end stink was what told him my boy stole those fishing supplies.”
“Well that’s easy Thibodeau,” said Boudreaux, “allow me to explain end-stink to you. It all started at the beginning of the animal kingdom, when God made dogs. The first dogs were what you might call prototypes. When they had the call of nature and needed to do their big job, they would stand straight up and poop all over themselves. It was a nasty mess Thibodeau.
Adam and Eve complained to God and told him to quit making dogs, that they were nasty animals with stinking ends. God looked into the matter and came up with a brilliant idea. He would start making dogs that had a new lobe in their brains. The lobe would be the size of a butter bean and would solve a dog’s end-stink problems.
After God added the new lobe to the brain all dogs started pooping differently. They would raise their little tails in the air, move their back paws up close to their front paws, arch their back and lower their booty closer to the ground. This gave their poop a clear path to the ground, never creating the mess that made their ends stink. This is why we humans only have to teach a dog to poop outside, but we never have to teach them the proper pooping position. They know how to do it from an early age because they have end-stink. Now, do you understand what end-stink means Thibodeau?”
Thibodeau responded, “It’s still a little confusing and hazy to me, Boudreaux. Assuming you’re right, and Deputy Landry’s end doesn’t stink because he poops like a dog, how does that prove Tibby stole those fishing supplies?”
Boudreaux slams his head against the wall and exclaims: “Thibodeau! I think when God made you he must have have been interrupted by a sneezing fit — ’cause he plumb forgot to give you any end-stink or end-tella-ghants!”
