The actor, John Larroquette, was once on the Tonight Show, and when Johnny Carson found out that Larroquette was from New Orleans, Carson broke from the script and said, "Your from Louisiana? You people eat a lot of stranger things."
Without missing a beat, Larroquette replied, "In Louisiana, if its fresh killed, we eat it!"
Carson almost fell off his chair laughing...
Being a native son of Louisiana, I can tell you that Larroquette's statement was "Oh, so true!"
