Oh, 'bout six beer!

Ken was telling me that a friend of his, Bob had moved to the Edmonton area from Ft. McMurray.  He had spent a number of years there, as a police officer, and is now retired.

While there, he said he'd gotten to know a number of the local residences.  Most of them Newfies.  Just before moving south, a couple of them had asked him if he'd like to join them, on his Quad for a one day fishing trip. And being the outdoorsman that Bob is, he said he'd love to.

Upon arriving at the designated area of departure, Bob asked, "So, how far is it, from here to the fishing area?"  In which one them immediately replied, "Oh, 'bout six beer."

What could he do, only laugh, and join them for the day.

And we all know that Newfies are well known, not to need much of an excuse for a party.
