Beoudreaux cancels the war

Obama was in the Oval Office when his telephone rang. "Hello, Obama " a heavily accented southern voice said. "This is Boudreaux, down here at the Joe’s Crab Shack, Acadia Parish, Louisiana, I am callin' to tell yall dat we are officially declaring war on ya!" "Well Boudreaux," Barack replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"

"Right now," said Boudreaux, after a moments calculation "there is myself, my cousin Pierre, my next-door-neighbor Francois, and the whole Evangeline hunt club. That makes eleven!"

Barack paused. "I must tell you Boudreaux that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"No for sure!" said Boudreaux. "I'll have to call back at ya!" Sure enough, the next day, Boudreaux called again."

Mr. Obama, the war is still on! We have done acquire some mechanized equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be Boudreaux?" Barack asked.

"Well cher, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Francois's farm tractor."

Obama sighed. "I must tell you Boudreaux, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000 armored personnel carriers. Also I've increased my army to one and a half million since we last spoke."

"Goodness," said Boudreaux, "I'll for sure be getting back to ya." Sure enough, Boudreaux rang again the next day.. "

Obama, the war is still on! We have done managed to go git ourselves airborne! For sure we up an' modified Pierre's ultra-light with a jess a few shotgun in the cockpit, and four boys from the Legion have done come and joined us as well!"

Obama was silent for a minute then cleared his throat. "I must tell you Boudreaux that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"

"Oh me," said Boudreaux, "For sure I'll have to call back at you." Sure enough, Boudreaux called again the next day.

"Obama! I am sorry to have to tell you that we have done had to call off dat war what we was talking bout." "I'm not surprised to hear that" said Barack. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

Well, cher," said Boudreaux, "we've all done sat down and had a long chat over some crawfish and beers, and we done come to realize that there's just no way we can feed two million prisoners."
