Acute Bed shortage…what if it happens in reality
A little girl came home from school and said to her mother, “Mommy, today in school I was punished for something that I didn’t do.”
The mother exclaimed, “But that’s terrible! I’m going to have a talk with your teacher about this … by the way, what was it that you didn’t do?”
The little girl replied, “My homework.”

“Say, do you know who I am?” asked the girl.
“No.”
“I’m the principal’s daughter.”
“And do you know who I am?” asked the boy.
“No,” she replied.
“Thank goodness!”

The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas…
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old Boy’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20×20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words “uh oh”, it’s already too late.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Lego’s will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can’t walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.) VCR’s do not eject “PB & J” sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
25.) Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
Football FINALLY makes sense………. A guy took his blonde girlfriend to
her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team’s
bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
“Oh, I really liked it,” she replied, “especially the tight pants and all
the big muscles, but I just couldn’t understand why they were killing each
other over 25 cents.”
Dumbfounded, her date asked, “What do you mean?”
“Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the
game, all they kept screaming was: “Get the quarterback! Get the
quarterback!” I’m like…Helloooooo? It’s only 25 cents!!!!

This is how blondes use their laptop
“If I have only one life to live, let me live it as a blond.” — 1960s Clairol commercial
Did you hear the one about how you make a blond laugh on Monday? Tell her a joke on Friday.
Two decades after Suzanne Somers’s classic ditzy blond of Three’s Company fame left the airwaves, “dumb blond” jokes continue to proliferate. Don’t believe me? Hang around a high school or surf the web.
As illustrated in The Blonde Mystique, airing Sunday at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) on W Network, stereotypes persist about the archetypal blond — a head-turner as envied as she is ridiculed, lusted after and, in Hollywood, put on a pedestal.
She can be perceived as hot, seductive, slutty, evil, a bimbo, fun-loving, fertile or glamorous.
It has been 50 years since Marilyn Monroe, having had her light brown hair dyed to become a blond bombshell, sizzled alongside Jane Russell as a diamond-loving showgirl in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Indeed, the musical-comedy classic’s title reflects an ongoing reality in an industry that has long exploited blonds.
Alfred Hitchcock famously loved casting actresses of a certain hair colour as elegant or icy blonds — gorgeous Grace Kelly in Rear Window, for instance, and Eva-Marie Saint in North by Northwest.
Platinum-tressed screen goddesses ruled in Hollywood’s heyday with the likes of Mae West, Jean Harlow and Jayne Mansfield before Monroe moved into the limelight — most memorably as blond bimbo Sugar Kane in Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot.
Stereotypes have since been perpetuated in movies like Victor, Victoria through Lesley Anne Warren’s scene-stealing portrayal of a dumb blond moll; L.A. Confidential, featuring Kim Basinger’s Oscar-winning portrayal of a femme fatale; and Chicago, with Renee Zellweger’s portrayal of Roxie Hart, the homicidal blond who exploits her ditzy charms.
Hollywood’s blond ambition continues unabated with a profusion of hot blonds — Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Simpson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Pamela Anderson, etc. Many have parlayed their tresses into lucrative franchises like Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde, starring Witherspoon as a pink-loving, not-so-ditzy legal eagle.
Then there are the golden-haired comediennes who got the last laugh. Goldie Hawn evolved from a bubbly TV sketch-show bimbo to an A-list actress-turned-producer; Lisa Kudrow made a fortune playing ditzy Phoebe on Friends.
Why does hair colour matter so much, and why should we care? It seems like a trivial topic but The Blonde Mystique — narrated and directed by Sally Aitken — playfully reveals there’s more to being blond than meets the eye.
Her one-hour documentary, co-written with James Dunnison, is a fascinating, fact-studded and inventively crafted exploration of whether there is such a thing as a “blond mystique.”
Framed by colourful comic-strip imagery, it’s an engaging blend of humour, factoids — most amusingly in History of the Blonde, a faux retro recap — and interviews on why we perceive blondness, a double-edged sword, a certain way.
There’s no question colouring your hair can affect how others perceive you.
Notes Hugh Hefner, editor-in-chief of Playboy: “I think the fact blonds want to be blond by choice is probably an indication of how they want to have more fun.”
There’s a downside to becoming a blond for the obvious “perks” because of false appearance-based preconceptions, however.
“When they sign up to be pretty they also sign up to be dumb,” says Natalie Ilyan, author of Blonde Like Me.
Brunettes Angela Case and Karen Holness, and blond Aubrey Arnason — a Charlie’s Angels-type trio of intrepid sleuths — gamely prove such preconceptions through on-the-street interviews and in field tests at bars and on the side of a highway.
“I’m not blond. They’re not stopping,” laments Angela during a sequence where each poses as a damsel-in-distress with a broken-down car to determine how hair colour affects how many offers of help they’ll get.
Amazingly, only two cars stop to help Angela and Karen. Blond Aubrey attracts seven offers.
“Maybe because I’m a blond I don’t understand it,” quips Aubrey, questioning why blonds get so much attention.
For the ultimate test, Angela and Karen change their hair colour to become blonds; and Aubrey becomes a brunette.
“People want to explain things more thoroughly to me,” observes Karen, while Aubrey is now taken more seriously.
Remarkably, average guesses of their ages drop to 26 for newly blond Karen, 33, and to 24 for Angela, 28.
Within this colourful collage of vintage hair care ads, pop culture icons, archival film footage and opinion, we’re reminded that Cleopatra, a brunette, was often portrayed as a blond until Elizabeth Taylor played her; that fairy tale heroines Goldilocks, Rapunzel and Cinderella were fair-haired; and that a blond covergirl can sell twice as many magazines as a brunette.
It’s way more than Aitken imagined when she embarked on her quest into the heart of blondness.
“Once you scratch the surface you realize we’re all subscribing to this mythology and behaviour deeply embedded in our evolution,” she says. “You start off thinking it’s just about hair colour, but there’s so much more meaning.”
Oh — and one more thing.
“Everyone’s got a good blond joke.”

A blonde, a brunette and a redhead are stuck on an island. For years, they live there, and one day they find a magic lamp. They rub it, and sure enough, out comes a genie. The genie says “since I can only give out 3 wishes, you may each have one” So the brunette goes first, “I have been stuck here for years, I miss my family and my husband and my life – I just want to go home.” POOF, she is gone. The redhead makes her wish, “This place sucks, I want to go home too.” POOF, she
is gone. The blonde starts crying uncontrollably. The genie asks, “What is the matter?” The blonde said, “I wish my friends were here.”
There are three ladies working together in the same office – a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde. After a while, they begin to notice that each day their boss, who is also female, leaves work early.
After this pattern continued for a few weeks, one day they decide that as soon as their boss takes off they’ll leave right after her; after all, she never comes back or calls so how would she know? So, after their boss takes off they all leave as planned.
The brunette was elated to be able to get in a quick workout at her spa before meeting her dinner date. The redhead was thrilled to be home early; she did a little gardening and went to bed early.
As for the blonde, she was so happy to finally come home early for once. But when she got to her bedroom she heard a muffled noise from inside. Slowly, quietly, she cracked open the door and was mortified to see her husband in bed with HER BOSS! Ever so gently, she closed the door and crept out of her house without saying a word.
The next day during their coffee break, the brunette and redhead mentioned leaving early again and asked the blonde if she wanted to go with them.
“NO WAY!” The blonde exclaimed, “I damn near got caught yesterday!”
One day, a blonde named Sally was putting together a puzzle. She was really stumped and very frustrated, so she decided to ask her husband for help.
“It’s supposed to be a tiger!” Sally cried.
“Honey,” said Dan, “Put the Frosted Flakes back in the box!”
Two friends, a blonde and a redhead, are walking down the street and pass a flower shop where the redhead happens to see her boyfriend buying flowers.
She sighs and says, “Oh, crap, my boyfriend is buying me flowers again, for no reason.”
The blonde looks quizzically at her and says, What’s the big deal, don’t you like getting flowers?”
The red head says, “Oh sure, but he always has expectations after giving me flowers, and I just don’t feel like spending the next three days on my back with my legs in the air.”
The blonde says “Don’t you have a vase?”
A recent survey was conducted to discover why blondes get out of bed in the middle of the night:
– 5% said it was to get a glass of water.
– 12% said it was to go to the toilet.
– 83% said it was to go home.
The veterinarian told the blonde that her dog needed some exercise.
“You need to make sure this dog runs around,” the doctor said.
“Try playing a game of fetch with him.”
“I can’t play fetch with my dog,” the blonde said. “Why not?” the doctor asked.
“Because,” she replied, “He can’t throw.”
Fifteen minutes into the flight from Kansas City to Toronto, the captain announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, one of our engines has failed. There is nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled, but we still have three engines left.”
Thirty minutes later the captain announced, “One more engine has failed and the flight will take an additional two hours. But don’t worry … we can fly just fine on two engines.”
An hour later the captain announced, “One more engine has failed and our arrival will be delayed another three hours. But don’t worry … we still have one engine left.”
A young blonde passenger turned to the man in the next seat and remarked, “If we lose one more engine, we’ll be up here all day!”
A blonde who suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her goes out and buys a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly, opens the door, and, sure enough, finds him naked in the arms of a redhead. Well, now she’s angry. She opens her purse and takes out the gun. But as she does so, she is overcome with grief and points the gun at her own head.
The boyfriend yells, “No, honey, don’t do it.”
“Shut up,” she says. “You’re next.”
Before launching the inaugural “Blonde Ambition Tour” column, which will run as reader submissions warrant, The Dot would like to make it clear that The Dot is not an anti-blonde-ite. The sole reason The Dot has chosen to run a column made up exclusively of blonde jokes is because they are funny – OK, and because The Dot’s boss is a blonde.
Incredible Coincidence
A blonde is crying her eyes out at work, and her boss asks what is wrong. “Early this morning, I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away,” the blonde says. “Why don’t you go home for the day?” the boss suggests. “Thanks, but I’d be better off here,” the blonde says. The boss leaves, and the blonde goes back to work. A couple of hours pass, and the boss looks out from his office and sees the blonde again crying hysterically. “Are you going to be OK?” he asks. “No,” says the blonde. “I just received a horrible call from my sister. Her mother died, too!”
Long Movie
Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death at the drive-in movie? They had gone to see “Closed for the Winter.”
Does Anyone Speak Blonde?
A plane is on its way to Houston, when a blonde in economy gets up and moves to first class. The flight attendant watches her do this, asks to see her ticket, and then tells her she will have to go back to economy. The blonde replies that she is not moving. At this point, the attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the captain. “You say she’s a blonde,” the captain says. “I’ll handle this. I’m married to a blonde. I speak blonde.” The captain goes back to the blonde, whispers something in her ear, and she immediately gets up and goes back to her seat in economy. The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed. “What did you say to make her move?” they ask. “Well,” says the captain, “I just told her first class isn’t going to Houston.”
God And Blondes
A down-on-her-luck blonde decides to pray to God: “God, please help me. I’ve lost my business, and if I don’t get some money, I’m going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lottery.” Lottery night comes, and somebody else wins.
She again prays. “God, please let me win the lottery! I’ve lost my business, my house, and I’m going to lose my car as well.” Lottery night comes, and she still has no luck.
Once again, she prays. “God, why have you forsaken me? I’ve lost my business, my house, my car, and my children are starving. I don’t often ask you for help, but please let me win the lottery just this one time so I can get my life back in order.”
Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light, followed by the voice of God. “Sweetheart, work with me on this,” God says. “Go out and buy a ticket.”
Key Is Rolling The Rrrrrs
Two tourists are driving through Louisiana, and as they approach Natchitoches, they start arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argue back and forth until they stop for lunch. As they are standing at the counter, one tourist asks the blonde waiting on them, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are very slowly?” The blonde leans over the counter and says, “Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiiiiing.”
Roots Affect Rooting
A guy takes his blond girlfriend to her first football game. They have great seats right behind their team’s bench. After the game, he asks her how she liked it. “Oh, I really liked it,” she replies, “but I just couldn’t understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents.” Confused, the blonde’s date asks, “What do you mean?” “Well, says the blonde, “they flipped a coin at the beginning, one team got it, and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: `Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!’ I’m like, helloooooo? It’s only 25 cents!”
