May all Your Jokes be Blonde *
What did the blonde ask her doctor when he told her she was pregnant?
“Is it mine?”
***
A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out and buys a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly and when she opens the door she finds him in the arms of a redhead. Well, the blonde is really angry. She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so, she is overcome with grief. She takes the gun and puts it to her head.
The boyfriend yells, “No, honey, don’t do it!!!”
The blonde replies, “Shut up, you’re next!
***
On a plane bound for New York, the flight attendant approached a blonde sitting in the first class section and requested that she move to economy since she did not have a first class ticket.
The blonde replied, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to New York, and I’m not moving.”
Not wanting to argue with a customer, the flight attendant asked the copilot to speak with the woman. The copilot went to talk with the woman, asking her to move out of the first class section.
Again, the blonde replied, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to New York, and I’m not moving.”
The copilot returned to the cockpit and asked the captain what he should do.
The captain said, “I’m married to a blonde, and I know how to handle this.”
He went to the first class section and whispered into the blonde’s ear.
She immediately jumped up and ran to the economy section, mumbling to herself, “Why didn’t anyone just say so?”
Surprised, the flight attendant and the copilot asked what he said to her that finally convinced her to move from her seat.
He said, “I told her the first class section wasn’t going to New York.”
