Well George … Looks like it’s just you and me now.
Ads? What ads? Oh … word from sponsor? Well I have nothing to do with that. A real sponsor would pay me for my work … Besides, placing an ad here would be like the erection of Billboard somewhere in some unknown desert … Back in the early sixties. Who would see it. Don’t you know George? Freedom of speech is a bit of a luxury these days. Hmmmm … Nothing for nothing …
Meanwhile fwi … Dummy
Well … Yes … I do make mistakes … Dummy?
Oh yes … I see … Send in what dummy? What did you say?
Which two newfies do you need to change a light bulb?
Sorry but that makes no sense, no sense whatsoever.
The question is … “How many Newfies does it take to change a lightbulb?”
Everybody knows that. I’m sure everybody has known that since St. Brendon first discovered America.
Historically accurate? Aren’t you hysterical! I don’t complain about what version of history you choose to espouse, do I?
What do you mean there is no possibility of having to be accountable for mistakes? What is Positively brilliant about a dumb Newfie Joke?manuvre … Where is the Dummy when you need one? Which one? Have a little respect please.
Ok … That’s it. That is the last of your thinly diguised Newfie Jokes.
The answer? Depends on watt?
As we all know from past experience, everything we get, our homes, our education, our food … Everything depends upon sponsorship.
Without sponsorship you are not even allowed to have a job … At least that is the way it works here in Canada.
If nobody is willing to sponsor you …
But I do know, George. I know it very well. Look around you. Look at all the people you know who are successful, well- educated, well fed. They are where they are because they have sponsors. The sponsors are often political but not always.
What it comes down to is that if you have no sponsor you will probably eventually starve to death.
Whether sponsorship is related to advertising? Who knows?
How to you know when you have reached the end?
When the only paths left open are those with tollbooths.

Oh you mean our neighbours to the south. They might want your feathers? Why on earth would you think that, George.
It is not like you are anywhere close to resembling an eagle. Besides, the folks down South are so busy with land claims …

and looking for gas and oil in exotic places … I really doubt whether they have any time for dancing around with feathers.
Besides, even if it were true, why would they be interested in Magpie feathers. I’m sure that trade in eagle feathers is far more profitable.
Talking of profit … Perhaps we might consider investing in some of that colourful polyester lining fabric. Hallowe’en? Well that too but I was thinking about maybe we could make some of those fringed polyester costumes that have become so popular for Pow-Wows. Just market them as genuine traditional costumes like that lady at the local market used to do.
Welcome to the New Age … Were you a Hippie George? Reason I’m asking … Back in the 60’s while some people were trying to save the world … They say hippies don’t remember much except the fog.
