Newfoundland Humour


A SURPRISING APPETITE!

A young Newfoundlander went to Toronto to find himself a job. He found himself a job but he was also successful in finding himself a Torontonian for a girlfriend. Wishing to impress this lady he asked her to one of the better eating places for dinner.

The waitress approached their table and asked them if they were ready to order. The girlfriend was more than ready for she ordered as follows:

double shrimp cocktail, pea soup, a steak, broccoli, roast potato, buttered carrots, cauliflower, baked Alaska and fruit cocktail.

Then she turned to the boyfriend and said "I wonder what I'll have to drink?" To which our Newfoundlander replied "HOW ABOUT ONE OF THE GREAT LAKES?"


THE ESSENCE OF CONTRARINESS

A Newfoundland couple had been roamed for many years. The wife was very patient because she had put up with a lot of contrariness from her husband. The incident which went a bit too far was when he came to breakfast one morning and she said,

Wife: What are ya goin' to 'ave fer yer brakfass?
Husband: Two h'eggs.

Wife: How do ya want 'em?
Husband: One boiled an' one fried.

She did as he requested and put the eggs on the table in front of him. When he scowled and frowned at the same time she said,

Wife: What's wrong now?
Husband: Ya boiled d' wrong one.
