Smooth talker or Cajun logic.

Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard, got called up to active duty.
Boudreaux's first assignment was in a military induction center. Because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled.
The officer in charge soon noticed that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance, for which Boudreaux earned a handsome commission.
This was remarkable, because it cost these low-income recruits $60.00 per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was already providing at no charge. The officer decided he'd sit in the back of the room at the next briefing and observe Boudreaux's sales pitch.
Boudreaux stood up before the latest group of inductees and said, "If you haf da normal GI insurans an' you go to Afghanistan an' get youself killed, da governmen' hava pay Momma two tousan dollar."
"But if you take out da supplemental insurans, which cost you only sixy dollar a mons, den da governmen' got ta pay you Momma two hunder tousand dollar!"
"Now you tell me", Boud reaux concluded, "which boys you tink dey gonna send ta Afghanistan first?"
