Blondes in Business
I’m gonna have a little fun on this post to my site. Have you ever noticed that those familiar little jokes about stupidity begin with “A blonde…..”? I have to admit some of those jokes are really funny and I am just as apt to laugh as the next person – even though I am blonde. However, I am not real fond of it when a guy who is a stranger or mere acquaintance comes up to me and says “Do you know why the blonde…..?” I go along with the joke and usually laugh. Then when they think they’ve got a good one on me because I’m blonde, I ask, “Do you know why guys tell so many blonde jokes?” They usually stand there in anticipation of another good joke. So then I give them the punch line. “Well, it’s because it’s the only jokes they can understand.” Then I start laughing! The look on their face is usually a Kodak moment as they stand there looking like, ‘Wow, she got a good one on me with that one!’
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that those jokes are not really against blondes, but rather unintelligent people in general. Being ‘a blonde’ can be referred to what I call being ‘a ditz’. I have seen people who fit this description with many different hair colors: blonde, black, red, brunette, and even gray. Any hair color can have ‘a blonde moment’. Years ago, every ‘stupid’ joke included a Pollock, and I remember a few redhead jokes for a while. But for some reason, blondes have become associated with stupidity and it has stuck for quite some time now.
I also decided to not take offense at the blonde jokes just because I am blonde. I know I am not stupid, and neither are most blondes I know. Don’t underestimate what we can do 
. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, online business owners, nurses, stay-at-home moms, and just about any occupation you can name. One thing about it, if I do or say something stupid, I can just laugh and say “Well, that was a blonde moment!” and laugh at myself.

I really enjoined this post and I too had blonde hair but as I grew older it started to change and appreciate your post. I was certainly laughing with when reading this post.
Make it a great day, and don’t hide the hair color;-)
This is excellent and appreciate this very amusing topic. It was very much enjoyed and thank you for sharing
Linda – Thank you so much for the laugh! It’s great when we are able to laugh at our own selves for our “blond moments” and not take things so seriously. I’m a brunette and have my blond moments all the time. I even refer to the times I am forgetful and can’t remember something as “my senior moments” and I’m not a senior either. I’m going to pass along your comeback joke to all my blond friends. Loved it! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Linda, great post as always. I totally agree that sometimes blondes can be stereotyped and called ditz. To tell you the truth, it rubs off on some and they play the part and it sticks to others. I know some very intelligent blondes and they’re really really cool people. So, if a negative person is going to make comments on hating on a blonde, I always say, they are jealous of the beauty.
hey there wonderful little web site you got here
I am using the matching web theme on my own blog although for whatever silly issue it appears to reload a lot quicker on your site eventhough this blog has got way more material. Are you working with any sort of plugins or widgets which will speed it up? If you could quite possibly write about the widgets so that I can use them in my own online site I’d personally be thankful – regards ahead of time
