Newfie** Directions

An American tourist in a small village he was visiting in Newfoundland, approached a local person and asked, "What's the quickest way to Marystown?"

The local, scratched his head, "Are ya walkin ER drivin?" he asked the stranger.

"I'm driving," said the stranger.

"That's the quickest way.



** Newfie, noun. Newfoundlander. (Newfoundland Canada). One of the proudest race of people in the planet. Former fishermen, but since the government shut down the fishery industry, they are still all unemployed, except for the few who run small businesses/stores or those who move away. 

They are noted by their notoriously thick accent, such can be heard in expressions such as "ey by! (hey boy / You dont say!)" or "whataya at? (What are you at / What are you doing at this moment?)" 

There is also a breed of jokes called Newfie jokes which poke fun at this breed of human, but ironically enough, Newfies are the creators of such jokes. 

In insult, these people have been compared to "red necks"..

Jeez, yer a newfie!! 

God, he must be a freakin Newfie, no one can ride a moose that fast!
