A big he-coon was terrorizing the area around Fotenots place, and he never could find him. He called his buddy Thibodaux who had the best coon dog in the country. Thibodaux he came over and brought that dog. He told Fotenot to get his 30-30. The dog immediately picked up that big he-coon's scent and took off, with Fotenot & Thibodaux chasing after him. They finally heard that dog had the coon treed. They come running up breathless to the tree.
Thibodaux said, Now Fotenot, I'm going to climb up in that tree and get that coon out on a limb and shake it until he falls. When he hits the ground, the first thing that dog will do is bite the nads off that coon, then he'll tear him up.
Fotenot ask, If the dog is a gonna kill the coon, why'd I bring the 30-30.
Thibodaux said, That's in case I fall outta that tree, you shoot that dad gum dog.
