Those crazy cajuns. LMAO!

Watch the derogatory language, honky!

Who you callin' honkey? I'm 50% coonass, and I consider it a term of endearment.

Well then it's OK.

The lunatic's from Missouri. You can hardly blame this one on the cajuns, Haley:

"Police arrested Mark D. Plumb, 20, of Butler, Mo., and charged him with simple battery. He went free after posting a $165 bond and apparently telling police the whole thing was a joke."

I don't think coonass is a bad word either.

Bear, yes he was from Missouri, but it was probably the water that did it to him.

Now THAT's humor. An oldie goody!

HAY!!! I don't like that joke.

HAY!!! I don't like that joke.

I never could appreciate the humor while I lived in LA, because I kept hearing people being called Coonasses in a negative way. But, then we moved to East Texas and... I was a very sensitive child, and didn't like to hear people using names like that. MY parents tried very hard to make sure my sister and I were exposed to people of all backgrounds and that we grew up without many of the prejudices and racism that seemed so prevalent when they were younger. You could say that since I was born, I was trained to become the Capital L Liberal that I am now. I can only infer from the previous posts that perhaps the term "coonass" has become more mainstream and used to joke among friends. Trust me, I have no wish to offend anyone.

Someone around here was suing someone else to stop them from using the term, I guess if you look at anything in the wrong light you can find something offensive there. Or, maybe people just need to lighten up.

I was joking....I am proud to be Jackass and Coonass, I've never heard that joke before.

COONASS VASECTOMY

After having their 11th child, a Louisiana couple decided 11 was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed. So the husband went to his veterinarian and told him that he and his > wife didn't want to have any more children.

The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it was expensive. A less costly alternative, said the doctor, was to go home, get a cherry bomb (fireworks are legal in Louisiana swamps), light it, put it in an empty beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.

The redneck said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man in the world, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me."

"Trust me, " said the doctor.

So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count:

"1"

"2"

"3"

"4"

"5"

At which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs, and resumed counting on his other hand.
