NEWFIE AND REDNECK JOKES
WARNING: THESE MAY OFFEND SOME, OK?
As part of our efforts to educate Americans about Canadian culture,
we bring you the Newfie joke. Newfoundland was the last province to
join Confederation in 1949. They had the choice of either becoming
part of Canada or part of the US. They decided to join Canada, and
became our national joke. No, seriously, Albertans are a national
joke, but that's another story...
The Newfie joke is a very unique form of joke, usually in two forms.
The first is the Newfie outwitting the mainlander:
What's black and blue and floats in the bay?
A mainlander telling a Newfie joke
or:
Newfie Waiter: Would you like to try the beef tongue?
Mainlander: No, I do not eat anything that comes from an animal's
mouth.
Newfie Waiter: Would you like an omelette instead?
The second form is making fun of a Newfie, such as:
How do you confuse a Newfie?
You put his welfare check in his boot.
Crude and cruel, yes. However, it is no coincidence that some of the
best, brash and bravado humor comes from the Martimes, and I don't mean
Anne Murray. Codco, with the "House of Budgell"
and "Friday Night Girls" take full advantage of a peculiar accent
and woes of Newfies.
A few members of Codco later created This Hour Has 22 Minutes,
a no-holds barred satire on news programs. My favourite characters are the Quinlain
Quints. Never mind that there's only four of them, it's hard not to love these dumb toque and
flannel shirt wearing siblings.
All rightey then, on to these Newfie jokes sent to me by an actual Newfie:

Newfies may be to Canada what Rednecks are to the Southern US, but until you've travelled
frequently throughout Alberta, rednecks are not an isolated people. Weirdly enough,
Ernest C. Manning's eugenics programs in the thirties seems to have missed a
lot of "mental defectives". Just kidding, but the next time you're stuck in a place
called Dog Pound or Cereal, you can't avoid feeling like "Duelling Banjos" is going to
be heard vaguely in the distance.
Two rednecks decided that they weren't going anywhere
in life and thought they should go to college to get
ahead. The first goes in to see the counselor, who tells
him to take Math, History, and Logic.
"What's Logic?" the first redneck asks.
The professor answers by saying, "Let me give you
an example. Do you own a weedeater?"
"I sure do."
"Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard,"
replied the professor.
"That's real good!" says the redneck.
The professor continues, "Logic will also tell me that since
you have a yard, you also own a house."
Impressed, the redneck says, "Amazin!"
"And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a
wife."
"That's Betty Mae! This is incredible!"
The redneck is obviously catching on.
"Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume
that you are heterosexual," said the professor.
"You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin'
thing I ever heard! I cain't wait to take that logic class!!"
The redneck, proud of the new world opening up to him, walks
back into the hallway, where his friend is still waiting.
"So what classes are ya takin'?" asks the friend.
"Math, History, and Logic!" replies the first redneck.
"What in tarnation is logic???" asked his friend.
"Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weedeater?"
asked the first redneck.
"No," his friend replied.
"SO YOU LIKE GUYS, Don t Ya ?"

Your school fight song is "Dueling Banjos." (see! I told ya!)

What greeting card can you find only in Kentucky?
"Happy Birthday, Uncle Dad!"
In the back woods of Kentucky, the redneck's wife went into labor in
the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the
delivery.
Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to be a
lantern and said, "Here, you hold this high so I can see what I'm
doing." Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there,"
said the doctor.
"Don't be in a rush to put the lantern down...I think there's yet
another one to come."
Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. "No, no,
don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern. . . It seems
there's yet another one in there!" cried the doctor.
The Redneck scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor,
"Do you think it's the light that's attractin' 'em?"
[Christine: given the dismantling of Alberta's health care system, this
might be a scenario not too far down the road!]
DON'T CHOKE IN TEXAS....NEW EMERGENCY MEASURE
Two Texans were having breakfast at their favorite watering hole,
when they heard this awful choking sound. They turned around to see
a lady a few bar stools away turning blue from wolfing down an
Armadillo omelette too fast.
The first Texan said to the other "Think we
orta' help?"
"Yep", answered the second Texan.
The first Texan got up and
walked over to the lady and asked,,, "Kin yew breathe?" She shook her
head no.
"Kin yew speak?" She again shook her head no.
With that, he helped her to her feet, lifted up her skirt and started to
lick her on the butt. She was so shocked, she coughed up the obstruction
and began to breathe with great relief. The first Texan turned back to his
friend and said......"Funny how that thar Hind Lick Maneuver works every
time!"
A grandfather went to visit his college-age grandson at the
dorm. Grandpa was astonished to find that his son was living
a life of sin and corruption, as shown by the very high-heeled
shoe nailed over the doorway.
"In my day," grumbled Gramps, "we would hang a horse shoe over
the door for luck and then study late into the night hoping to
pass our classes."
"But grandpa," replied the grandson, "that IS a whore's shoe."
