Dead Horse reminds me of another Cajun storyOne hot summer day, Boudreaux decides a cold beer would be just the thing. So he goes down to Isidore's Pub to have a beer. So Boudreaux is sipping his beer, and Isidore says to him "Hey Boudreaux, how many doors you think I got in dis place?"
Boudreaux says "Why Isidore, ev'rybody knows you only got two doors, a front door an' a back door."
Isidore says "Bet you five bucks I got four doors." Boudreaux says "OK, lay your money down. You got a front door an' a back door." And Boudreaux starts to reach for Isidore's five dollars.
"Not so fast, Boudreaux. I got a front door an' a back door, dat's two."
"Right. So gimme dat five dollah."
"Oh, no. What's my name?" asks Isidore.
"Why ev'rybody knows it's Isidore." says Boudreaux.
"An that brass spitoon, ain't that a cuspidore?" inquires Isidore. "Dat's four doors, front door, back door, Isidore, and cuspidore." says Isidore triumphantly, and takes Boudreaux's five dollars.
"By dam, I never thought of that. I'm gonna try that on Thibodeaux when I see him."
It wasn't three minutes later when Thibodeaux walks in. "Hey Thibodeaux, how many doors you think Isidore has in here?" says Boudreaux.
"Why Boudreaux, ev'rybody knows he's only got but the front door and the back door."
"Bet you five dollars he got four doors." says Boudreaux. So Thibodeaux lays his money down without a word.
"Now," says Boudreaux, "he's got a front door and a back door, that's two." And Thibodeaux strats to reach for the money.
"Not so fast, Thibodeaux. What's his name?"
"It's Isidore."
"Ain't that a door?" says Boudreaux. "And that....that....that.....that damn spitoon done cost me ten dollah today!"
