Thread Name: BS: Canadian Joke
Subject: RE: BS: Canadian Joke
I witnessed that joke at a dinner party in the Codroy Valley on the southwest coast of NF. A buddy of mine put several empties in the fridge and when people asked about them he would reply that those were for his wife as she would be driving people home after the party. Finest sense of humour and zest for life I have ever had the privilege to observe was in NF.

The same lad had me in stitches for over 20 minutes after finding a brass paint scraper on a friend's lawn. Imagine that. A brass scraper ! Now, you know a fellow is lazy when he spends extra so he can leave his scraper out in the rain rather than put it in the shed when he's done... over 20 minutes. And tease ? Oh, oh, oh. And practical jokes. He would often take guests for a walk around the property after dark. He is 5'5" and many of the tree braches are trimmed so he can just walk under them.
