New Joke

[Richard in Smithville]

Leon went to a psychiatrist. 'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody

under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'

Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come talk to me three times a week,

and we should be able to get rid of those fears.'

'How much do you charge?' 'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.

'I'll sleep on it,' said Leon . Six months went by.

Later the doctor met Leon on the street.

'Why didn't you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?' asked the psychiatrist.

'Well Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money!

A Newfie cured me for $10 and a 12-pack. I was so happy to have saved all that money

that I went and bought me a new pickup!'

'Is that so! And how, may I ask, did a Newfie cure you?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!

What is...

a Newfie ??

a Newfie ??

If Jeff Foxworthy was Canadian, he'd be saying, "........you could be a Newfie".

Works for me on both counts. So a Newfie is a Canadian Red Neck and cutting legs off beds prevents scary dreams.

a Newfie is a Newfoundlander, I think its used as a somewhat derogatory term implying that they are a little, er, slow.
In Canada, the usual line of ethnic-based jokes can be used with a Newfies as the butt of the joke.

Fancy that! A Texan and a Texan knowing the meaning of Newfie.

Newfies get "picked" on by most of Canada. They in turn make Albertan jokes, who in turn go after us from Ontario. Now out here in the wild part of Southern Ontario, we make jokes about the other small towns, who make jokes about us.




BTW: If you want to hear the best Newfie jokes, ask some one from Newfoundland( honest! They have the best sense on humor in Canada-and are some of the best people you'll ever meet.)
