Is she a blonde?

Gotta love a blonde!

HA!   I like her very much...    AND I can relate!    

This is a RE-POST from 11-10-25:

Sometimes in life, we ALL interpret things too literally, like that blonde.   

As a little kid I received, like millions of other boys in America, an Aurora AFX slot car set.     With excitement, and parental supervision, I set it all up.       The instructions noted CAUTION when removing the box-style electrical plug from the outlet:  "AFTER EXTENDED USE, PLUG MAY BECOME HOT.  HOLD BY EARS."

My Dad walked in, "What the hell are you doing?"        With the box-plug next to my head I replied, "It says hold by ears."             

Hmm, interesting, can't tell without seeing the canopy or the bush.😁

@sizedoesmatter +1.

Can't blame her I guess; she's just following orders!   

My Dad walked in, "What the hell are you doing?"        With the box-plug next to my head I replied, "It says hold by ears."  

To quote Uncle Jed......."One day I gotta have a loooong talk with that boy."

A good chuckle to start my morning.  I have to wonder though if in today's P. C. world, if blonde jokes and references to them are off-limits.  The majority of us grew up in an era where blonde jokes and so many others were the normal for friendly party conversation. 

I remember one such "Blonde" joke that went like this:  How did the four blondes die drinking milk?  Answer: The Cow fell on them. 

And though no offense was ever intended when telling or sharing such jokes, in today's society we are better off just being a mute.  

@georgeschire Yeah, I was watching Sanford and Son reruns today where he was poking fun at Julio, the Puerto Rican neighbor, and Ah Chew, the Asian friend of Lamonts. I told my wife I was surprised they were still showing these without someone screaming it's racist nowadays. 😲

@geno There's NO Norman Lear '70's/'80's production that could air on network TV today.  All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Good Times, One Day at a Time, Sanford & Son, Maude, etc...   would all be cable shows today.

Regretfully I agree with you.  Not saying there weren't some positives that have come with the P. C. movement, sadly, I don't see it getting better.  The more we've tried to improve, the more problems we've created.

"I don't see it getting better." 

Agreed, as we've discussed numerous times.   As the dumbing down  of America continues - those who fail to differentiate truth from fiction and are easily fooled by outlandish statements riddled with falsehoods, lies, and impossible facts - prepare for even more mandates, warnings, labels, disclaimers, etc.

Why?   Because someone will use their snowblower on the roof, or bring a hairdryer into the pool, or will taste hydrochloric acid on a dare because jack*** on YouTube  did so.... or be overly sensitive or wrongfully offended by a Don Rickles-type  joke or a Norman Lear-type  punchline.

This post reminded me of the character Walt Kowalski, played by Clint Eastwood in the movie Gran Torino.  He and his barber would throw really nasty nationality barbs back and forth, which made the viewer understand that it was a veiled sign of deep friendship.  The movie ending showed how he was the exact opposite of prejudiced.  I won't elaborate as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't yet seen this movie.
