Their boss informed them that they could go to the LSU (Louisians State Unemployment) office, to see about applying for benefits. Thib waited as Boudreuax sat down at the desk for his interview. And what was your former occupation, sir? asked the lady. Me dere, ah wuz a crotch stitcher. Ah specialized in ladies underpants, Boudreaux replied proudly. The lady opened the manual with the benefit schedule, reviewed it and said Okay, youre eligible to receive $50.00 a week. Caaaaw! Ya mean ah dont gotta do nuttin and ah kin git $50.00 a week? Shaaaaaaa, dats mo betta den eatin a plate full o crawfish etouffee! exclaimed Boudreaux. The lady turned her attention to Thib and asked him the same question.
