Hugh, You are sooooooooo right. Our Newfie brothers and sisters have partying down to a fine science.

At a New Years party, I sat with amazment as someone from Grand Bank in his dialect tried to get someone from Harbour Grace to understand him and visa-versa. I did have to laugh at the story one told of the tourist farmer from the Mid-West asked a Newfie farmer how big a spread he was farming. When the Newfie farmer pointed out the boundries of his farm which may have been a stretch to make 40 acres, the Midwest farmer trying to impress a Newfoundlander explained that on his farm, he could get in his pickup truck at 8:00 am and it would take him till 5"00 pm to reach the far end of his property, to which the Newfie retorted, "Chap, I know what ya mean, I aad a truck once, meeself, that wouldnt go much faster, eh.....
