CAJUN FINGERS

Boudreaux was working at the fish plant in Gonzales when he accidentally cut off all ten of his fingers.

He went to the emergency room in Lockport.

The doctor looked at Boudreaux and said "Let's have da fingers and I'll see what I can do."

Boudreaux say, "I don't got da fingers."

"What do you mean, you don't got da fingers? It's 2005.

We got microsurgery and all kinds of incredible techniques.

I could have put dem back on and made you like new.

Why didn't you bring da fingers?"

Boudreaux says,

Spivey....you see a lot of these things written about "Cajuns" and their life, but rarely do you see one that had to have been written by somebody who lives south of Alexandria, and this one certainly was---I can tell---I grew up in Metairie, La., and lived in Lafayette for several years. Enjoyed reading it---now if I could just get some decent "ecrevis" somewhere around here.

I didn't grow up there, but my parents did... and I have a LOT of roots in southern Louisiana. It does get into the heart of things, doesn't it?
