Denny was a good welder but he was always late for work in the morning. One morning Boudreaux was at the time clock and, as usual, Denny was five minutes late again.
Boudreaux tell him: "Denny, you are always late for work." Denny says, "Boudreaux, tomorrow I'll come to work on my motorcycle and I won't be late, OK?" Well everything was going along great for about three days. Then the next day, no Denny. Boudreaux standing at the time clock and here comes Denny one hour late for work. He look so bad like he seen his mother in-law's ghost and she is screaming at him, "What you do with all my money you Bum?" You know that look.

Boudreaux said, "Wait a minute, a UFO chased you down the Port road last night?"
Denny said, "Yap. But I outran it and when I got home I drove straight into the garage, turned off all the lights and hid under my wife's truck. The UFO passed and shined his light on the house, in the trees and bushes and even the garage but I hide good, ya, Boudreaux, you know that. After a minute or two he went away.
"Boudreaux you think it will come back again to might?"
Boudreaux had to go along with this because it was too good to be true so he said, "Yes Denny, it'll probably come back tonight and take your brain."
Denny said, "You know I herd about that, too. So what can I do to keep the UFO men from taking my brain?"
Boudreaux thinking to himself saying this is too good to be true, I play along with this one. "Denny, what you do is go home tonight and rite before going to bed you rap your head in aluminum foil so the UFO men can't see your brain and they will go away." Denny said "Ya, I think I herd about tha,t too. I'm tell you wha,t I'll get one of my wife's aluminum pots and duct tape that on my head. That oughta work better." Boudreaux said, "Do that and tell me if it works, now go weld something."
Boudreaux walked back to his office laughing so hard he could hardly speak.
When Boudreaux told the people in the office just what Denny told him, well the security laugh so hard she all most wet her pants? So now everyone couldn't wait to see what will happen the next morning.
The next morning Boudreaux was waiting by the time clock and about 10 people were waiting by the office door.
Here comes Denny, five minute late as usual. He walks up to the time clock and marks his time card then looks at Boudreaux and says, "What are you here for?"
Boudreaux said, "What happen last night with the UFO men?"
Denny said with a look of terror in his eyes and said, "Boudreaux I forgot to duct tape the albumin pot on my head. Do you think the UFO men stole my brain?"
Boudreaux with out cracking a smile looks Denny wright in the eye and says, "Denny not even the UFO men want that useless thing. Now go weld something."
