Six retired Cajuns were playing bourie in the Bayou la Teche clubhouse
when Alcide loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops
dead at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five respectfully
stand at the table while finishing their playing time.
Boudreaux looks around and asks, "Now, who is going to tell the wife?"
They draw straws and Patin picks the short one. They tell him to be
discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.
"Gentlemen! Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you will ever meet.
Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me."
Patin goes over to Alcide's apartment, knocks on the door, the wife
answers,and asks what he wants.
Patin declares, "Your husband just lost $500, and is afraid to come
home"
She hollers, through the door, "TELL HIM TO DROP DEAD!"
Patin says, "I'll go tell him."
