If you think the accents in Henderson are "thick a lot", give Ville Platte a try.
When building my first home I used a contractor from 'the' Ville Platte. My wife (at the time) called me at work saying the contractor was asking her to put her eye on something?? She could not quite understand what he was asking. I said "did Sherman ask you to 'pass you eye over dat'? She responded that he asked exactly that. I informed her it was ok...he wants you go by the job site and look at something. She said "well....why didn't he just say so" to which I simply replied, with a grin, "he did"
I heard a story once but I can't say it is true, but it is believable.
When the oil boom hit the North Sea and everybody was sinking wells, it was reported that on one particular rig, they had a crew from Scotland and a crew of Cajuns from South La. Even though they both were speaking English, their accents were so heavy, that they had to have an interpreter there so the two groups could talk to each other.
