“Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.” Louis Grizzard

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh - at yourself.

One afternoon a very miserable looking Boudreaux enters the doctors office. " Boudreaux, you don't look so good " the doctor says. " Doc I hurt all over - I'm in bad shape - I tink I'm gonna die " Boudreaux replies. " Where exactly does it hurt " the doctor ask. " Here " Boudreaux says and touches his stomach with his finger, " Ohhh, dat hurts ", he cries. " Hmmm, the doctor says. " And here Boudreaux says and touches his chest with his finger. " Ohhh, dat hurts " he cries. " Anywhere else ? " the doctor ask ? " Yeah here " Boudreaux says and touches his neck with his finger. " I see " the doctor says and examines Boudreaux's finger, stomach, chest and neck. " " Hmmm ", he adds. " Doc, I know I'm in bad shape - I know I'm gonna die - tell me how long I got " Boudreaux says. " Boudreaux, for a man your age, you're in pretty good shape, except " the doctor begins. " Cept what " Boudreaux cuts him off. " Except your finger is broke in three places " the doctor say.
