Some funny posts from the Downhomer:

LETTER ONE

A few years ago, my mother and some friends went to eat at a little restaurant, somewhere in outport Newfoundland. My mother had been craving some homemade Newfoundland soup, as opposed to soup from a can, so she asked the waitress,

"Is that soup tinned?"

And the waitress replied ,"No, my dear, it's right t'ick!"

LETTER TWO

During the Summer of 1994 I had the pleasure of working for minimum wage at a Subway in Corner Brook. I was working the graveyard shift one Tuesday night and around 1:30 am this guy staggers in, obviously three sheets to the wind after a rousing night at a local watering hole.

"Gimme a six foot assorted on white meat.", the gentleman ordered.

I assumed the gentleman wanted a six inch cold cut trio ® on white bread, so I proceeded to make the sandwich for him. He just looked on as I piled on the fixins, not bothering anyone.

Once I had finished making the sub and had it wrapped in paper, I asked the man, "Sir, would you like me to heat your sub?"

The gentleman's face took on a defensive and scared look and he replied hastily, "No b'y! I'n gonna h'eat it meself right 'ere!". :)
