Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 

Replace "blonde" with "Newfie" as the one who does something stupid in the joke. I never understood why they make fun of people from Newfoundland...

I have a coworker who is from Newfoundland. When he moved out of Newfoundland, people didn't call him by his name, they called him "Newfie". And in a lot of jokes people told, the Newfie was the one who did something stupid. Needless to say, he was not happy with the prejudice that a lot of people had.

(tbontob fingers itch to start a discussion on the sorry plight of Newfoundlanders, but refrains from doing so as the topic is supposed to be one of the "funny-bone".) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 

Oh heck! Maybe bring something up that is partially on topic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Is there any connection in the "moose" or "Newfie" jokes and the fact that there is 1 moose to every 3 or 4 Newfoundlanders in Newfoundland?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What is this based on? Personaly I would rather come face to face with a moose than a grizly or polar bear.

LOL

Good joke, tesco! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Obviously, you live in the east. Ontario? Toronto, perhaps? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Wish I had heard it in the middle 80's when we had intense rivalry between the Oilers and the Flames. Guess who would have been the shark attack victim? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I am Canadian!

Go to that site and go down to the 6th file that says, "I am Canadian!" It is a funny clip. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeh, I thought it was funny too when I first saw it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It is a TV commercial for a Canadian Beer called, you got it, "Canadian" and is usually shown when a hockey game is being played.

I still get a chuckle out of how us "poor little" Canadians are maligned by the "supposed" Americans. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

And what do we Canadians do when the repressed rage suddenly breaks through? We pull his shirt over his head like they do in hockey! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

If you can, try to "see" the commercial. It's much funnier.
