I am a from the beautiful community of Herring Neck, NL. In the '90s I was on one of my physiotherapy clinical placements in Mississauga, Ontario. At the time, there was a Newfoundland garden party at a local campground near Mississauga. Of course, a group of my Newfoundland friends and I all decided to go. We were sitting on the field listening to the Irish Descendants play and from behind me I thought I heard someone say "Herring Neck." Naturally, thinking there was a fellow Herring Necker in the crowd, I whipped my head around with enthusiasm and said "Did you say you were from Herring Neck?" A not so enthusiastic woman responded, "No...I told my husband he had a hairy neck." - Colleen Jones Down   Submitted By: NULL
