Six retired Cajuns were playing bourie in the Bayou Teche clubhouse when Alcide loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five respectfully stand at the table while finishing their playing time. Boudreaux looks around and asks, "Now, who is going to tell the wife?"
They draw straws and Thibodeaux picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse. Gentlemen! Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you will ever meet. Discretion
is my middle name, leave it to me."
Thibodeaux goes over to Alcide's apartment, knocks on the door, the wife answers, and asks what he wants. Thibodeaux declares, "Your husband just lost $500, and is afraid to come home."
She hollers, through the door, "TELL HIM TO DROP DEAD!"
Thibodeaux says, "I'll go tell him."
