If yer a Newfoundlander, Cookie is da lad what cooks in da camp b'y.
An ye learn some quick dat Cookie is tird in line me zon me zon. Unless ye are boss or foreman, ye better not piss off Cookie buddy.
I got up from the construction camp table one supper to get some bread from the kitchen as it had run out on the table (Cookie was busy having a drink and a natter and I thought it was only polite) and all eyes were on Cookie... then me... then Cookie. I was impolitely told that I should never, EVER, serve myself in any way and I HAD BETTER STAY THE FUCK OUTTA THE KITCHEN.
