JOKE:

Our L.H. Police chief was looking for a new deputy recently. He posted ads, and sure enough Lisa, a beautiful looking blonde tried out for the position. She wasn’t the sharpest nail in the bucket, but seeing she had a natural charisma about her, the chief gave her an interview. “ Ok, said the Chief. Lisa, what is 1 and 1? “11” she enthusiastically replied. The chief thought to himself, That’s not what I meant, but she’s right in a way. So he preceded to ask her, “Ok, Lisa, what 2 days of the week start with the letter T? “Shoot, that’s easy, she replied “ Today and Tomorrow.” The chief was again surprised that Lisa supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself. He thought of his next question carefully to make sure there could be no equivocation about the answer. “Now Lisa, listen carefully, “Who killed Abraham Lincoln?” Lisa looked a little surprised, thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, “I don’t know “ “Well, why don’t you go home and work on that one for a while?” the chief replied with satisfaction.” So, Lisa wandered over to the salon where her besties were anxiously waiting to hear the result of the interview. “How’d it go?” They all asked. Lisa was ecstatic. “ It went great! First day on the job and I’ve already been assigned to a murder case!

The woman wanted to find out for herself, so she spent the night with him.

The next morning she handed him a $100 bill. Blushing, he said, “ Well, thank ya Ma’am. I’m real flattered. Ain’t nobody ever paid me for mah services before.”

Don’t flatter yourself, the woman replied. Take the money and buy yourself some boots that fit!”

An old blind cowboy-who also happened to be a veteran-wandered into an all-girls biker bar by mistake. He found his way to a bar stool and ordered a shot of whiskey.

After a few shots he yelled to the bartender, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?” The whole bar fell silent. In a deep husky voice, the woman next to him said, “ Before you tell that joke I think it’s only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know 4 things. 1) The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat, 2) the bouncer is a blonde girl with a crow bar 3) I’m a 6 foot tall blonde woman with a black belt in karate and 4) the woman sitting next to me is also blonde and a professional weight lifter”. Now, think about it seriously cowboy, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke? The blind cowboy thought for a second, shook his head and muttered, “ Naw, not if I hafta explain it 4 times “.
