IN THE EARLY NINETIES I used to work at a hospital.
A certain janitor who also worked there could not contain the joy he felt every time he saw me.
Noooo it’s not that…
He was thrilled to bits because he could share the ‘latest’ blonde joke with a blonde – me.
Q: What do you call a blonde with a high IQ?
A: A golden retriever.
Q: Why did the blonde scale the chain-link fence?
A: To see what was on the other side.
Q: What do you call a blonde with half a brain?
A: Gifted!
Q: How do blonde brain cells die?
A: Alone.
Q: What do you call it when a blonde dyes their hair brunette?
A: Artificial intelligence.
Q: Why do blondes wash their hair in the sink?
A: Because, that’s where you’re supposed to wash vegetables!
Over the years, I’ve heard many blonde jokes.
So many, I’ve probably forgotten more than most people have ever known.
And every, single, annoying blonde joke has one central theme.
Blondes are dumb.
As a blonde, I have been highly motivated most of my life to prove that blondes are not dumb.
This has made me seem quite pompous at times. A know-it-all, if you will. A literal she-is-always-right-and-can’t-admit-when-she’s-wrong-and-always-has-to-correct-others poop head.
So maybe a dose of humility is exactly what I needed yesterday. A Poetic Justice of sorts. Perhaps that’s why I locked my keys and my purse with my spare keys into my running car after work yesterday and had to call AMA to come unlock the door so I could sheepishly slink into the driver’s seat and drive home.

Regardless of your hair colour, ever had a blonde moment?
