Newfoundland Joke Database
================================================
http://www.nfldproducts.com/jokes/
================================================

The Newfoundland Joke Database is gaining
popularity. During our first month we had over
1200 visitors and are on track for double that
this month.

The site will be changing it's focus over the 
next few weeks to introduce more traditional 
Newfoundland humour.  We would encourage anyone
with a Newfoundland funny bone to visit and share 
their jokes and funny stories with us.  A
criticism of Newfoundland humour sites in has been
the focus on tired "Newfy Jokes".  With your help,
we can make the Newfoundland Joke Database into
something to be proud of. 

If you like Newfoundland humour pay us a visit.
As you can see from the joke below, A LAUGH IS
GUARANTEED.

Regards,

The Contest
================================================
A Newfy and a manlander are sitting next to each
other on a long flight from Halifax to Vancouver.
The mainlander leans over to the Newfy and asks
if he would like to play a fun game.  The Newfy
just wants to take a nap, so he declines and
rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The mainlander persists and explains that the
game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains
"I ask you a question, and if you don't know the
answer, you pay me $5.  Then you ask me a question,
and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5." 

Again, the Newfy politely declines and tries to
get to sleep. The mainlander, now somewhat agitated,
says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me
$5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you
$50!"  

This catches the Newfy's attention, and he sees no
end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees
to the game.

The mainlander asks the first question. "What's
the distance from theearth to the moon?" The Newfy
doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet,
pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the 
mainlander. 

Now, it's the Newfy's turn.  He asks him "What
goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down
on four?"  The mainlander looks up at him with
a puzzled look.  Not wanting to lose the money
he thinks for along time about the question while
the Newfy goes back to sleep. After about an hour,
he wakes the Newfy and hands him $50.  The Newfy 
politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to
get back to sleep.  

The mainlander, more than a little miffed, shakes
the Newfy and asks "Well, so what's the answer?" 

Without a word, Newfy reaches into his wallet,
hands the mainlander $5, and turns away to get
back to sleep.
