I Don't Have to Be Serious All The Time...

I'm not always a serious thinker. Sometimes I am very easily amused, too easily some say. So, let me start with a blonde joke (ok, don't be insulted, I just want to get it over with).

A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of the state capitals of the United States. She proudly announced, "Go ahead, ask me any of the capitals, I know all of them."A redhead said, "O.K., what's the capital of Wyoming?" The blonde replied, "Oh, that's easy, 'W'."

Ok, now a funny brunette story.

A friend of mine (a lover of teeny dogs) was looking at the classifieds and mentioned an ad to me about poodles. Exhuberantly, she added, "And they come in all kinds of colors!" I looked at her quizzically and asked they came from the same litter. She said they did and brought the ad to me. "See, there!" and pointed to a spot in the ad that mentioned that the pups were AKC (ok, I can see where she thought that meant all kinds of colors).

So, do you think it's genetic? Let me tell you a story about her aunt.

My friend's aunt was staying with the family while she was trying to get back on her feet. She had been to several job interviews and left resumes everywhere. One day the phone rings and she answers it, thinking it was a call for a job. She chatted with the person for a bit then said, "No, I want a white collar job," and hung up. Curious, my friend's sister asked her, "What did they want." Auntie answered, "Oh, he asked me if I wanted a blow job but I told him I wanted a white collar job." I laughed so hard because she is probably the only person I know who could get a dirty phone call and think it was for a job interview.

And if that wasn't enough...

Another Aunt was staying with my friend's sister (let's call her Mary). She was an older lady and had her idiosyncracies, like the rest of us. Well, Mary noticed that during the last several days her aunt would get up during dinner to take a drink of water with her medicine. Mary couldn't stand it anymore and asked her aunt why she gets up in the middle of dinner to take her medicine. Her aunt answered, "The directions said to take between meals."

I apologize to any of my friends who have recognized themselves in these stories. I told you I was easily amused!
