Why are Newfie jokes so dumb? So the rest of Canada can understand them! From an author who hails from none other than the town of Dildo, Newfoundland, this book celebrates the hilarious tradition of the Newfie joke, many of which were likely made up by residents of ''The Rock'': * Q: Why did the Newfies get excited when they heard Quebec was separating from Canada? A: Because it was only going to take an hour and a half to get to Toronto. * Q: Why was the townie collecting burned-out light bulbs? A: He needed them for his darkroom. * Q: How many townies does it take to go ice fishing? A: Four--one to cut the hole and three to push the boat through. * Q: What do you call it when a Newfie loses his accent? A: Artificial intelligence. * Q: How did the Newfie move to Alberta and not have to change his address? A: He took the numbers on his house with him.
