A Newfoundland man 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 man had the elephant looked 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 not believing that
this was true. So the man asked the elephant to tell the ages of several
other people, and each time the elephant stamped his foot, and the people
said he was correct. The Newfie got even louder and more abusive toward the
man. Finally, the man 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 bye, he's right...I'm Farty-two!"
