One hot July day Boudreaux saw a commercial on television for Cajun Home Improvements, which was advertising the energy-saving benefits of storm windows. After talking it over with his wife Marie, they decided that it would be good to have them installed on their home in greater downtown Breaux Bridge.

The following December, on a cold day, a policeman knocked on Boudreaux’s door, slapped handcuffs on him, threw him into the back seat of his police car, and took him to jail.

A few days later, Boudreaux appeared in court before Judge Thibodeaux.

Judge Thibodeaux looked across the courtroom at Boudreaux and asked him if he knew why he had been brought to court. Boudreaux responded that he had no idea. Judge Thibodeaux told Boudreaux it was because he hadn’t yet sent Cajun Home Improvements the money for the installation of his new storm windows.

Boudreaux responded, “Mais Judge, da reason why I ain’t send dem any money is cause, before I bought dem windows, de salesman told me dat in 6 months dey would pay for demselves!”
