Joke of the Day
A blind man makes his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After
sitting there for awhile, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you
wanna hear a blonde joke? The bar immediately falls absolutely
quiet.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before
you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair, given that you are
blind, that you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde "biker girl."
3. I'm a 6 foot tall, 175 pound blonde woman with a black belt in
karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is a blonde and a professional
weightlifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that
joke?
The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters,
"Nah... not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.
