Speaking of above. this joke:
A Newfie, a Quebecois, and an Albertan were walking along the beach one day, when all of a sudden, they spy a genie's lamp partially buried in the sand. They rush to it and pick it up, carefully brushing the sand off the burnished metal.
All of a sudden, a pale bluish mist begins to erupt from the mouth of the lamp, coalescing into...a POWERFUL GENIE!
"I am the great and all-powerful Genie of the Lamp, and since you have freed me from my prison, I will grant you three wishes...hmm...hey wait, there's three of you, aren't there? Well, since I don't know which of you freed me, I'll tell you what. I'll give each one of you one wish each. Now, what is your wish??"
The Newfie steps forward and says "I'm a fisherman, my father was a fisherman, and my father's father was a fisherman. I want to make sure that my son will be a fisherman too, so I wish that the Grand Banks would be full of fish for all eternity!"
FOOM! The Genie grants his wish and the ocean is full of fish!
The Quebecois steps forward and says "My province's cultural identify is very important to me, and I want to protect it for all eternity. I wish that you would build a huge wall around all of Quebec so that nothing would ever get in or out!
FOOM! The Genie grants his wish and all of Quebec is completely surrounded and protected!
The Albertan steps forward and says, "Tell me more about this wall around Quebec."
The Genie replies, "It is completely impervious to any radio or television transmissions. It is made from indestructible magic stone that is 100 metres tall and 100 metres thick!!"
The Albertan says "I wish that you would fill it up with water!"
