Two Newfoundland fishermen were out in their boat fishing outside their proper fishing zone, when they are accosted by an RCMP patrol boat. An officer on the boat says to them, "hello, gentlemen, did you know you were catching fish that belong to the mainland?" Thinking fast, one of the Newfoundlanders says, "No b'y, we wasn't catching any mainland fish, only the Newfoundland fish that swum over." The officer, smug at the simple Newfies, replies, "Oh, you're only catching Newfoundland fish are you?" "Yes, me son," replies the fisherman, "we's only keeping the Newfoundland fish." "And how do you tell what's a mainland fish and what's a Newfoundland fish?" "Not a problem, officer. We just throws back the ones with the big mouths." Paraphrasing. ;) Ethnic humour is so much fun... ask any minority American :P.
