I spose you 'erd about Jake Upshall's first ever trip to Toronto. Jake had never
been anywhere, so when him and a few of his buddies decided to go to Toronto
to see a Leafs game, twas cause for excitement.
Jake had never been off the island of Newfoundland, never been on an airplane,
never stayed in a hotel, had never even been to St. John's, so he wasn't exactly
wise in the ways of the world.
The five of them arrived at their hotel in Toronto, and agreed to meet back in the
lobby in a half an hour, after they were all settled away in their rooms.
Sure enough, in a half an hour, four of them met back in the lobby, but no Jake.
One of the byes decided to call his room to see what was the problem.
"HELLO!!!" said the hysterical voice of panic.
"Jake? Dat you? We're waitin' fer ya yer in da lobby me son."
"Ferget it!" said Jake. "I idden comin' to da lobby. I idden gonna see nar Leafs
game. I idden nebber gonna leave this room. I'll starve da death in yer!!!"
"How come?" asked his buddy.
"Ders three doors in dis room," said Jake. "One goes to the bathroom. One goes
to the closet. The other one got a sign hung on da doorknob what says 'DO NOT
DISTURB.'"
