Similar jokes are also to be found in published anthologies of French language jokes in Canada, but in fairly small numbers. Nonetheless, the degree of self-censorship seems to be somewhat less than in Anglophone Canada, although far greater than in the United States, and the following French jokes have escaped the censor:

Hey, Newfie. We no longer allow people to pee in the swimming baths here.

I am not the only one.

Perhaps not, but you are the only one to do it before jumping off the diving board. (Allard 1978: 102; see also Newbine 1984: 123)

The Newfie Father Xmas doesn’t come down the chimney; he comes up the sewage pipe. (Allard 1976: 28)
