A good friend of mine who was born and raised in Newfoundland once told me “We can laugh at ourselves and, unknown to most Mainlanders, the Newfie jokes they love so much were actually written and published in Newfoundland.” So with that statement in mind I submit…
Jesus in a Bar
An Australian, an Irishman and a Newfie are in a bar.
They're staring at another man.
Suddenly the Irishman says, \"It's Jesus!\"
Sure enough, it is Jesus, nursing a pint.
Thrilled, they send him over a pint of Guinness, a pint of Fosters and a bottle of Molson Canadian.
Jesus accepts the drinks, smiles at the three men, and drinks the
pints slowly, one after another.
When he's finished the drinks, Jesus approaches the trio.
He reaches for the hand of the Irishman and shakes it, thanking him for the
Guinness.
When he lets go, the Irishman gives a cry of a amazement:
\"My God!
The arthritis I've had for 30 years is gone. It's a miracle!\"
Jesus then shakes the Aussie's hand, thanking him for the lager.
As he lets go the man's eyes widen with shock.
\"Strewth, mate!
The bad back I've had all my life is completely gone! It's a miracle!\"
Jesus then approaches the Newfie who knocks over a chair and a
table trying to get away from the Son of God.
\"What's wrong, my son?\" Asks Jesus.
The Newfie shouts, \"KEEP AWAY! I'm on Workers Compensation!\"
