An Ontarian wanted to become a Newfie (ie. a Newfoundlander). He went to a neurosurgeon and asked “Is there anything you can do to me that would make me into a Newfie?”

“Sure, it’s easy.” replied the neurosurgeon. “All I have to do is cut out 1/3 of your brain, and you’ll be a Newfie.”

The Ontarian was very pleased, and immediately underwent the operation. However, the surgeon’s knife slipped, and instead of cutting out 1/3 of the patient’s brain, the surgeon accidentally cut out 2/3 of the patient’s brain.

He was terribly remorseful, and waited impatiently beside the patient’s bed as the patient recovered from the anesthetic. As soon as the patient was conscious, the nurosurgeon said to him “I’m terribly sorry, but there was a ghastly accident. Instead of cutting out 1/3 of your brain, I accidentally cut out 2/3 of your brain.”

The patient replied “Qu’est-ce que vous avez dit, monsieur?”
