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.
