Newfie Joke
I just got sent a "Newfie Joke" by someone in my office. Yup, I'm back in Ontario.
A Newfoundlander living in Toronto decided to visit the zoo. While there, he saw a man with an elephant act. The man claimed the elephant could look at a person and tell that person's age. The Newfie was very skeptical and said so, in no uncertain terms.
The trainer had the elephant look at a small boy, and the elephant stamped its foot 9 times.
"Is that right?" he asked the boy.
"Oh yes," the boy said.
The Newfie was very loud in expressing his disbelief so the man asked the elephant to tell the ages of several other people, and each time the elephant stamped his foot, the people said he was correct. The Newfie got even louder and more abusive toward the man. Finally, the trainer could take it no longer, and offered to bet the Newfie that the elephant could look at him and tell him his age. The Newfie accepted the wager. The elephant looked very closely at the skeptic, then turned around, raised his tail and broke wind like you wouldn't believe. Then he turned back around and stomped his foot twice.
The Newfie stumbled back, amazed, and with a sound of disbelief in his voice cried, "Lard tunderin' Jaysus b'y, he's right... I'm farty-two!"

You made me think when I arrived to Santiago from hometown and some classmates used to make jokes because of my accent...
Last thing: I don't think the joke is funny.
