"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing. "What has happened?" the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby-carriage along the sidewalk. "Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well," replied the man; "and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City." "Hm!" said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?" "I really do not know," replied the man, with a deep sigh. "Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.""

A Great Blonde Joke

I don't normally think blonde jokes are all that funny, but this one had me rolling!

It took me 2 to "get it" - but I followed the "trail" just to see what kinds of folks would do such a thing!

;-)

Yeah - I got it after about 30 seconds or so. Still, I kept "thinking" about it to see how far I could get.

I went about 30 clicks or so and got bored.

that was too obvious after like a click and a half... but i did find this real blonde joke after further clicks (reading how people were reacting to the joke)...

So a blind man walks into a bar, sits down, orders a drink, and asks, "Anyone want to hear a blonde joke?"

Bartender says: "Before you tell that joke, you might want to know that I am a blonde lesbian bartender in a lesbian bar, the person on your right is a blonde black belt, the person next to her is a blonde bouncer, on your left is a blonde Ph.D physicist, and the person next to her is a famous blonde feminist author. Are you sure you want to tell that blonde joke?"

And the blind man says "Nahhh! I don't feel like explaining it five times."

Quaid,

How many clicks in your "30 seconds"? :)

This is like the t-shirt that says on the front "How to keep an idiot busy (see back)" and the back says "How to keep an idiot busy (see front)"

[...] Absolute classic of a blonde joke. Pretty Good.   [...]

Glenn,
The computer I was on was somewhat slow for whatever reason. I probably was at the third click. Maybe four.

The brain I'm currently using is slow and simple. I didn't get it for several clicks. I still thought it was funny.
