I like blonde jokes, but have to be careful telling them around my daughter and DIL, who are both blonde. Both are of exceptional intelligence. One is a teacher and reading coach and the other is a scientist who develops advanced cloning techniques. She is also a certified embryologist. Both are very attractive, too.
My daughter's favorite joke along these lines is to ask someone if they heard who the dead brunette was, found floating in the river this morning, all black and blue.
Who?
"She's the last person who told me a blonde joke."
Actually, the dumbest chick I ever dated was a sorority girl from SMU, a pretty pricy school. She was a creature of wealth and privilege, but probably so spoiled that she knew relatively little of the world beyond her own horizons. She made out pretty well, though, and was cute, so I went out with her for about three months. But she eventually bored me, big-time. There was just not much to discuss beyond her family, her sorority, and football, which bores me. I want a girl who knows who wrote the Declaration of Independence (and cares) and who can find Finland or Estonia on a globe.
This babe was trying to answer questions about South Africa, in that nation's booth at the state fair. The two guys from the consulate had gone to lunch, leaving her on her own. She didn't know the Transvaal from the Drakensberg range. Couldn't tell when the Dutch first settled there (1652) or find Durban on a map. I think they hired her as a booth bimbo, to get guys to come over and talk. I helped her, and the men were so pleased when they rerturned that they gave me a couple of six-packs of Lion (maybe Castle?) lager and a subscription to South African Panorama, a beautiful magazine then published by the SA Dept. of Information. Government there has since changed hands. I'd better not comment on that, but the magazine may no longer be available. Much has changed there since the mid-1990's, and a lot has not been for the better. BTW, we have at least two South African members on this board, and Peter, in particular, is a wealth of info on military and police handguns there. (I know; he's technically English, but after 30 years in the RSA...) Frikkie is an Afrikaaner, as his first name suggests. Hello to both if they read this.
Anyway, this girl had brown hair. But I still like blonde jokes, although some of my favorite models and an actress (Lara Cox) are blonde, and are pretty sharp people. Heck, Heidi Klum is blonde, and I once stood about 20 feet from her, watching that finely oiled mind work. Even before she spoke English well, she turned Jay Leno's and David Letterman's snide cracks about her being a blonde model into jokes that had the audiences laughing at the smug hosts.
I like blondes. They aren't all dumb, and I like the look. But I still laugh at the jokes. Tell some more! My family doesn't read this board. The daughter isn't into guns and the DIL and my son are more into Colt, SIG, and Glock autos, not revolvers.
Oh: the blonde DIL shot a deer whose head now reposes on my living room wall. Surgically precise shot from a 7mm-08.
