There was a Cajun that lived in the bayous of Louisiana named Boudreaux who was always bringing back limits of ducks and geese. Everybody wanted him to take them hunting so they could learn how he did it. Boudreaux had a black labrador name Phideaux he always took with him when he went. One day, the local banker met up with Boudreaux and told Boudreaux that he would be at Boudreaux's at 4am in the morning to go duck hunting with him. At this, Boudreaux starts humming and hawing and says, "Well, I don't know about all that." Banker says, "Tell me, Boudreaux. How you like that nice little house what you got." Banker just happens to hold the mortgage on Boudreaux's house. It don't take a hammer to tell Boudreaux what's up. Boudreaux says, "Ok. Brought youself in de mornin'."
4:00 am come and the banker knocks on Boudreaux's door. Boudreaux comes out with his shotgun and says, "Lets go." Banker says, "Wait a minute; Ain't you gonna took Phideaux.""Naw, We ain't gonna need him." says Boudreaux. Banker says, "Bring him!"
"Phweet! Brought youself, Phideaux." Well, they head for Boudreaux's ponds and pretty soon they get to the first one. Phideaux, he runs ahead and sneaks up on the Levee. Pretty soon he comes running back and he barks twice. Boudreaux says, "There's 2 ducks in the pond." Banker says, "How you know?""Phideaux done told me, that's how." They sneak up real quiet and peek over the levee; 2 ducks sitting on the pond.
"BOOM, BOOM." 2 ducks in the bag. They go on to the next pond, Phideaux runs ahead to the pond, and runs back. He barks 4 times. Boudreaux says, "4 ducks." They sneak up to the pond, peek over the levee, 4 ducks. "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM." 4 ducks in the bag.
When they get to the third pond, Phideaux runs ahead again. When he runs back this time,he starts barking and turning flips. Banker says, "What's wrong with that dog?" Boudreaux says, "8 ducks and 4 geese on that pond." They sneak up and peer over the levee, 8 ducks and 4 geese. At that, banker tries to get Boudreaux to sell him the dog but Boudreaux won't sell, no.
About a year later, weather's been bad and crops are poor. Boudreaux goes to the banker to borrow money till times get better. Banker says, "Boudreaux, I'll make you a deal. I'll give you the money you need, no loan, and I'll give you the mortgage on you house if you let me have Phideaux." Boudreaux hums and haws a little but finally gives in.
A year goes by, crops are good and Boudreaux runs into his banker friend and asks him how he's doing. Banker says, "Okay and you?" Boudreaux says, "Okay. How's Phideaux?" Banker says, "You know, I had to shoot that d*** dog." Boudreaux says, "How come? How come you to shoot Phideaux, Huh?"
Banker says, "I went to Arkansas to a rice grower's convention last winter and took Phideaux with me so I could do some duck hunting. While I was there, I ran into this feller who owed me some money so I thought of a way to get it with interest. I took him hunting with me and told him about how Phideaux do and naturally he don't believe me so I make a bet with him. Well, for the first few ponds everything was going well. But when we get to the last pond, Phideaux sneak up there like he do, but this time when he come back, he pick up a stick and start beating that feller on the leg. Well, that scared both of us and my friend, he climb a tree and holler at me, "Shoot that d*** dog. He's gone mad!"
Boudreaux, he just shake his head and Say, "Don't you know what he was trying to tell you?" Banker says, "No, what was he trying to tell me?" Boudreaux say, "......He just trying to tell you that there was more ducks on that pond than you could shake a stick at!" dr;
