Newfie has change of heart
takes money from Ottawa

Newf , a handsome dude, walked into a sports bar about 9:58 PM. He sat down at the bar next to a man who had Ottawa written all over him. Newf stared up at the TV.

The 10:00 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

Ottawa looked at Newf and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

Newf said, "You know, I bet he'll jump."

Ottawa replied, "Well, I bet he won't."

Newf placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as Ottawa placed his money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.

Ottawa was very upset, but willingly handed his $20 to Newf saying, "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

Newf replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 PM news and so I knew he’d jump."

Ottawa replied, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."

Newf took the money......
