(OT) Coonaz

Coonaz reminds me of my Crew Chief in Germany, one SSgt. Henry Fontenot, who claimed that if it had not been for Gov. Huey P. Long, he would still be miles back in the Bayou, unable to understand English and living off crawdads, muskrat, and alligator tail.
He had two really young mechanics working for him - I mean green as grass - and they were planning a trip to Paris and wanted Henry to teach them some French phrases to woo the girls with. Henry held out until they were ready to go on leave and only then did he teach them a couple of phrases.

They returned all grins, bright eyes and happy as a couple of tumble bugs in a feedlot. They were profuse with their thanks to Henry and I asked Henry just what he had taught the guys to say (hell I might want to visit Paris someday). He said "Sir, it really isn't very nice." I said 'come on Henry tell me.' He said "well the phrase meant 'I'll eat the crotch right out of your drawers.'"

Are you by chance related?
