I'm not poking fun at his accent, but only saying that it was exceptionally thick and that makes it difficult for those up here in the Pacific Northwest (where we speak perfect English, of course) to understand.

Mark, I looked at your profile to see exactly where you lived that people don't understand Cajun. "Tell dat sorry
a** ref to brung hisse'f to de phone rat now so I can tol' him a t'ing or two about basketball." And now he has your phone number. This means he knows or can find out where you live. hmmmmm... If he apologizes and invites you to
come down and see him and take a swamp tour, don't go.
Croquet? Isn't it a bit nerve-wracking to call things
(what do you call in croquet?) against people that are all holding big hammers?
