My brother, David, is gifted with a healthy dose of humor and wit, probably an inheritance from one of our legendary Labrador uncles and Newfoundland father. He has the uncanny ability to catch a person off guard at times, something he revels in as he has his laugh. From time to time David has to travel the province of Newfoundland and Labrador on work-related matters, giving him ample opportunity to gather material to use on some unsuspecting characters in his life. Some time ago he was on a lengthy trip down the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, an area he loves, having spent part of his childhood there. When he returned, I asked him during a phone call how his trip was. He answered in just one word, "WINDY!" Falling into his trap, I asked how windy it was for him to comment on it. "Well," he said, "it was so windy that I was in the community for ten days before the wind died down and I realized that the Canadian flag on the pole outside the school wasn’t made out of plywood! Now, is that wind or what??" I had to admit, through my laughter that, yes, that was WINDY! And I became another notch in his belt of humor victims.
