The Friday Funny

Today marks the beginning of what I hope will become a weekly feature here. I don't know about you, but by Friday I could use a good laugh. And what kind of laugh is better than one at someone else's expense? Don't judge me. You know you love it too.

Last week I received an email that prompted this whole idea. It was a blond joke and it was sent to me, as you might guess, because of my very blond daughter. I might also mention the sender was none other than my very blond mother-in-law.

I realize the subject matter might be offensive to some. And to you I say....get over it. Lighten up. (I've never pretended to have the gift of mercy. I'm not going to start now.)

So, each week you can expect to see a photo of her:

And a joke in tribute to her. Here is today's installment (Thanks RubyDooby!):

This blond decides one day that she is sick and tired of all these
blond jokes and how all blonds are perceived as stupid. So, she
decides to show her husband that blonds really are smart.

While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint
a couple of rooms in the house. The next day, right after her husband
leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand.

Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of
paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the
floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a heavy parka
and a leather jacket at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she
is OK. She replies yes. He asks what she is doing and she replies that
she wanted to prove to him that not all blond women are dumb, and she
wanted to do it by painting the house.

He then asks her why she has a parka over her leather jacket. She
replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and it
said....

"For best results put on two coats."
