Boudreaux live across de bayou from Clarence who he don like at all..
Dey all de time yell across de bayou at each odder. Boudreaux would
yell to Clarence, "If I had a way to cross dis bayou, I'd come over dere
an beat you
up good, yeah!"

Dis went on for years. Finally, de state don built a bridge across dat
bayou right by dere houses and Boudreaux's wife, Marie, say, "Now is you
chance, Boudreaux. Why don you go over dere an beat up dat Clarence
like you say?"
Boudreaux say, "OK," and start across de bridge, but he see a sign on de
bridge and he stop to read it and den he go back home.

Marie say, "Why you back so soon?"

And Boudreaux say, "Marie, I dun change my mind 'bout beatin' up dat
Clarence. You know, Marie, dey got a sign on dat dere bridge dat say,
'Clarence 13 ft. 6 in..' You know, he don look near dat big 'cross de
bayou!"
