Calgarian, Newfie, and an Edmontonian all die at the same time. They are up at the Pearly Gates and St. Peter says that they must all answer a skill testing question to get in.
He takes the Calgarian aside and asks "How many 'N's are there in 'La Cucaracha'?"
Calgarian looks puzzeled by the question, and says "none." St. Peter lets him in.
Next come the Newfie, and he gets the same question. The Newfie looks just as puzzled as his buddy from Calgary. His answer is the same- none.
Now comes the Edmontonian's turn- same question. How many 'N's are there in 'La Cucaracha?'
The Edmontonian is puzzled, and says "That's a tough one- can I have a moment?" St. Peter is puzzled as he doesn't think it's hard and tells the Edmontonian to go ahead. 10 minues later the Edmontonian comes back and asks to borrow a pen and paper. St. Peter find some and give it to the Edmontonian.
About 30 minutes later the Edmontonian comes back and tells St. Peter "OK, I'm ready now." St. Peter asks "How many 'N's are there in 'La Cucaracha?'"
The Edmontonian replies "There are 67!" St. Peter now looks puzzeled and asks "how the heck did you get 67 Ns in there?"

The Edmontonian starts counting on his fingers while humming "na na na na, na. Na na na na, na........."
