Ethnic Joke: Newfoundland
Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.
A minister is walking down the street of a small community in Newfoundland and runs into a drunk.
Minister: You shouldn't drink so much - you'll never get to heaven that way.
Drunk: I bet I'll get to heaven faster than you will.With that the drunk drops dead in the street and a few days later the minister passes on. The minister finds himself in Hell and asks the Devil for a reconsideration. The Devil lets him make a phone call to heaven to ask why he is in Hell.
Minister: Hello, is this Heaven?
Voice: Yes, this is Mary.
Minister: The Blessed Virgin Mary?
Mary: No - not since that Newfie came up here.

Descriptions of a Jewish Christmas Card: on the front it has a tree, and strung from the tree, instead of the usually bulbs [sic], it has 32 colored Matzo Balls, and on the top, instead of the star of Bethlehem, it has a Jewish star, not the star adavin [sic], but a picture of Sammy Davis Jr. or Liz Taylor, you can take your pick.

Sammy Davis Jr. and Liz Taylor are Jewish movie stars.

Written in the bottom left of the card: Does this imply that the Hollanders are cheap? A response in different handwriting (probably the collector's): YES!!

Language
Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.
In this genre the fanciful name of the author in combination with the supposed title of the book produces a verbal irony, the import of which is most often obscene or scatalogical.
The Tiger's Revenge - Claude Balls
Hole in the Mattress - Mr. Completely
Hawaiian Romance - Komona Wanna Laiya
Russian Pastime - Ivben Jackinoff
Seventeenth Century England had something like title-author jokes. They were fake book lists with authors who were real people whom the crown was harrassing supposedly speaking on long winded topics.
