It's 10:30 in Newfoundland


As Canadians, do we still need to hear, "It's 10:00 a.m., 10:30 in Newfoundland"?

We get it. What easy math. Newfoundland adds 30 minutes to everything. I wonder if objects in Newfoundland are larger than they appear as well. Hmmm, I'll take 5 timbits today instead of my regular 10, thank you. They'll be ready in 30 minutes, of course.

My, that's a big lobster. Billy, fill the swimming pool with butter.

How come only Newfoundland gets to add 30 minutes to everything? There are lots of activities I would like to add 30 minutes to. Sex for 30 minutes and 30 seconds would be nice, for a change.

Does everything in Newfoundland happen in half hour increments? Maybe hookers make more money that way.

Enough with the reminders, though. People must think Canadians are stupid. "What time is it in Newfoundland?" "A half hour from now."

10:30 in Newfoundland. It's as Canadian as falling in love with a Trudeau.
