Hi Stephen, it won't make the joke any funnier, but down in the deep South, Aggies and cajuns are frequent characters in jokes.
As a Canadian, you probably know cajuns as Acadiens, they got thrown out of Nova Scotia at the end of the Seven Years War/French and Indian War/(was it the War of Jenkin's Ear, too, can't remember, it's late), by protestant English and wandered down to Louisiana, also a Catholic colony. In jokes, cajuns are wily, shrewd, but not educated.
Aggies are graduates of Texas A&M, I think I have that right, anyway from some college in Texas. There is a great rivalry between that college and another college in Texas. I am sure that some Texan will set me straight here. BUT, I do know that Aggies are legendary buttheads, excuse, please, butts of jokes. Not smart NOR educated.
The set-up for the joke, aside from the obvious male competition re: size of member, is that cajuns trump, or one-up, Aggies in jokes.
Another cajun joke:
'TiPaul is getting old, and he is not so fast at chopping wood anymore. So, his children, who have been trying to get him to give up the ax and get a chainsaw, finally prevail. He buys a chainsaw at the local Home Depot, takes it home, tries it out, and brings it back to the store. He throws it down on the counter. "This chainsaw you sold me, she doesn't work, hein? You must replace it with a new one, one that works." The clerk takes back the chainsaw, and replaces it with a new one, still in the box.
'TiPaul takes it home, tries it out, again, it does not work. He takes it back to the Home Depot, throws it down on the counter, and cries out to the clerk, "Mon frer, this chainsaw, she does not work, neither. Give me my money back or give me one that works!"
Once more, the mystified clerk takes back the offending chainsaw, and replaces it with a new one, still in the box.
'TiPaul once more takes home the chainsaw, tries it out, and now, he is hopping mad, he is spitting blood, the cochon does not work! He goes back to the Home Depot. It is with great restraint that he keeps his hands off of the person of the clerk. "Monsieur, this chainsaw, again she does not work. I want my money back!"
Baffled, the clerk starts up the chainsaw, which lets out a loud roar!
Startled, 'TiPaul cries out, "What's that sound?" |
