So he was just kidding about "just kidding"

Danny Williams. Rhodes scholar. Inventor.

Behold, good people, the moment in which the Great Man invents... meta-kidding, in which you are just kidding about kidding.

So, if he was kidding about kidding about building a power line through Gros Morne... does that mean that the Gros Morne plan is back on?

MS JONES: Government’s latest shift in position on the Lower Churchill has been to announce that Gros Morne is officially off the table as a transmission route, and this was after the Premier and his government had adamantly defended this route as being $100 million cheaper, money that they would have rather seen invested in health care, I think were the comments that were made, but them a few days ago the government said: We are just kidding.

Mr. Speaker, kidding about causing permanent damage to a UNESCO World Heritage Site was an unbelievable statement for me to hear, but my question to the Premier today is: How serious are you about a north-south grid of power for the Lower Churchill Project, or is that just another joke that is being proposed by the government?

PREMIER WILLIAMS: The first thing you should do is lighten up. You must have had a bad summer; there must be something going on. I saw you yawning over there a minute ago when the House Leader there was speaking. Anyway, that was a very light comment that was made in the course of a speech. It was said jokingly, and it was received that way, and I would say it again.
