      Reporter
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Well,
      I
      have
      been
      in
      PEI
      for
      almost
     
     
      4
      years,
      and
      it
      will
      never
      cease
      to
     
     
      amaze
      me
      that
      there
      are
      so
      many
     
     
      differences
      in
      the
      way
      people,
      and
     
     
      things
      in
      general,
      are
      here
      conpared
     
     
      to
      home.
      I
      is
      a
      Newfie,
      and
      so,
      I
      feel
     
     
      that
      it
      is
      my
      duty
      to
      make
      you
      all
     
     
      laugh
      each
      week.
      And,
      because
      I
      am
     
     
      a
      Newfie,
      I
      think
      the
      best
      way
      to
     
     
      make
      non-Newfies
      (and
      Newfies
     
     
      alike)
      laugh,
      is
      to
      poke
      fun
      at
      some
     
     
      of
      the
      differences
      between
      our
      two
     
     
      islands.
      Each
      issue
      will
      have
      some-
     
     
      thing
      a
      little
      different.
      Some
      weeks
      |
     
     
      will
      tell
      you
      about
      my
      observations
     
     
      around
      here,
      other
      weeks
      will
      be
     
     
      some
      language
      interpretations,
      and
     
     
      anything
      else
      that
      comes
      to
      mind.
     
     
      This
      week
      I
      would
      like
      to
      share
      the
     
     
      lyrics
      of
      a
      song
      with
      you.
      It
      is
      called
     
     
      "Partridge
      Berry
      Jam"
      by
      Buddy
     
     
      Wasisname
      and
      the
      Other
      Fellers.
     
     
      Until
      I
      moved
      here,
      I
      didn't
      realize
     
     
      that
      there
      were
      places
      that
      didn't
     
     
      have
      partridge
      berries.
      Mmmm,
      they
     
     
      are
      so
      good.
      So,
      I
      thought
      you
     
     
      would
      be
      interested
      in
      seeing
      how
     
     
      one
      Newfie
      rationalizes
      about
      his
     
     
      love
      for
      the
      little
      red
      berry.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      PARTRIDGE
      BERRY
      JAM
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Uncle
      Henry
      went
      to
      Florida
      to
      satisfy
      Aunt
     
     
      Mag
     
    

    
     
      Going
      through
      the
      airport
      they
      x-rayed
      his
     
     
      bag
     
    

    
     
      They
      didn't
      find
      the
      weapons
      of
      a
      hijacking
     
     
      man
     
    

    
     
      They
      found
      thirteen
      bottles
      of
      partridgeber-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ry
      jam.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Partridgeberry
      jam,
      partridgeberry
      jam
     
     
      Best
      darn
      food
      ever
      known
      to
      man
     
     
      Smear
      it
      knee
      deep
      on
      some
      homemade
     
     
      bread
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Or
      eat
      it
      right
      from
      the
      jar.
     
    

    
     
      Uncle
      Henry
      took
      the
      shivers
      and
      he
     
     
      almost
      passed
      away
     
    

    
     
      Took
      him
      to
      emergency
      ‘twas
      there
      he
     
     
      had
      to
      stay
     
    

    
     
      They
      gave
      him
      chemotherapy
      and
      all
     
     
      kinds
      of
      pills
     
    

    
     
      As
      time
      passed
      by
      he
      went
      further
      down
     
     
      the
      hill.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Now
      Aunt
      Mag
      got
      the
      notion
      she
      was
     
     
      going
      to
      take
      him
      home
     
    

    
     
      Stuff
      him
      full
      of
      grub
      never
      leave
      him
     
     
      alone
     
    

    
     
      She
      fed
      him
      partridge
      berries
      til
      his
     
     
      skin
      turned
      red
     
    

    
     
      Now
      he's
      out
      jiggin'
      cod
      instead
      of
      lying
     
     
      home
      in
      bed.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Uncle
      Henry
      took
      a
      nap
      in
      the
      middle
     
     
      of
      the
      day
     
    

    
     
      And
      Mag
      went
      and
      found
      him
      lying
      on
     
     
      the
      hay
     
    

    
     
      The
      stains
      in
      his
      shirt
      was
      like
      the
     
     
      blood
      from
      her
      man
     
    

    
     
      But
      'twas
      only
      the
      juice
      from
      the
      par-
     
     
      tridgeberry
      jam.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Uncle
      Henry
      had
      it
      figured
      out
      as
      clear
     
     
      as
      it
      could
      be
     
    

    
     
      We
      all
      need
      to
      eat
      lots
      of
      Vitamin
      C
     
     
      But
      we
      don't
      need
      the
      fruit
      from
      a
     
     
      Florida
      man
     
    

    
     
      There's
      all
      kinds
      of
      berries
      right
      here
      in
