Actual Humor(?)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-12-05 AT 02:12PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Thought we needed some actual humor in this section: I was sitting in a fast food restaurant over the weekend next to a blonde who was engrossed in her newspaper. The headline blared: "12 Brazilian Soldiers Killed"

She shook her head at the sad news, then turned to me and asked: "How many is in a Brazilian?"

  • Thanks and how did you respond?
  • Thanks Hunter. We need more of that. Wait a minute, I'm blonde.... or is that gray. I get the two confused.
  • Where was your wife while you were 'sitting in a restaurant, over the weekend, next to a blonde'?
  • Oh,.........Ahhhhh,....... Did I ever mention that my wife's a blonde?? I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell her that I told this story about her if you ever meet her.

    Ray - At our age, we all get confused.
  • Duh! Everyone knows a Brazilian = 1 Gazillion - 1 Million.
  • Had that been me I would have immediately asked her out. Anyone that dumb would surely be a fun and inexpensive date.
  • That reminds me. I saw this recently and it could help the blonde out the next time you have a chance at a conversation with her.


    Dear Straight Dope:

    How much is a gazillion, exactly? [email]--johnt@ci.carpinteria.ca.us[/email]

    SDSTAFF Dex replies:

    Million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, novillion, decillion . . . lessee, a decillion is:

    1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

    . . . so there ain't no gazillion, it's right up there with zillion, bijillion, and uncountabillion . . . a made-up term.

    Just so you know, here's the list of "named illions":

    Billion has 9 zeros

    Okay, If ya'll are going to start with the blonde wisecracks, I'll go ahead and ante up before I feel like I'm being picked on - blonde jokes don't scare me anymore.

    Blonde Football

    A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats behind thier team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.

    "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."

    Dumfounded, her date asked, "what do you mean?"

    "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarter back! Get the quarter back!' I'm like.....Helloooo? It's only 25 cents!"

    (P.S. I am a blonde and I never have understood that game!!!)
  • Try to explain why the FULLBACK normally lines up in fromt of the HALFBACK and the QUARTERBACK at times when in the shotgun is behind both of them.
  • When I played football, the fullback was indeed behind two half-backs in a T-formation. And Shotgun had not been invented, except for purposes of marriage.
  • what about the NICKLEBACK? and TAILBACK and TWOBACK?
  • I believe a Brazilian is the number of undergarments Victoria's Secret sold last year.
    Linda
  • Good conclusion, Linda -- considering that a Brazilian is the term for a certain, uh, grooming procedure that one must endure to tastefully wear the VS undergarments.
  • OK, even though I am blonde I have to share:

    Seven Degrees of Blondes

    FIRST DEGREE

    A married couple were asleep when the phone rang at 2 in the morning.
    The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment
    and said, "How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!" and hung up.

    The husband said, "Who was that?"

    The wife said, "I don't know, some woman wanting to know if the coast is
    clear."


    SECOND DEGREE

    Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on
    the sidewalk and leans down to pick it up. She opens it, looks in the
    mirror and says, "Hmm, this person looks familiar."

    The second blonde says, "Here, let me see!"

    So the first blonde hands her the compact.

    The second one looks in the mirror and says, "You dummy, it's me!"


    THIRD DEGREE

    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!"

    FOURTH DEGREE

    A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals.
    She proudly says, "Go ahead, ask me, I know all of them."

    A friend says, "OK, what's the capital of Wisconsin?"

    The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy: W."

    FIFTH DEGREE

    What did the blonde ask her doctor when he told her she was pregnant?

    "Is it mine?"

    SIXTH DEGREE

    Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA freshman, sat in her US
    government class. The professor asked Bambi if she knew what Roe vs.
    Wade was about.

    Bambi pondered the question then finally said, "That was the decision
    George Washington had to make before he crossed the Delaware."


    SEVENTH DEGREE

    Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house
    ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported the
    crime

    The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the radio, and a K-9 unit,
    patrolling nearby was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached
    the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch,
    shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then sat down on the
    steps.

    Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, "I come home to find all my
    possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do?

    They send me a BLIND policeman."





  • Go ahead and tell us about the 8th degree blonde. I like her best. Remember, she's the one with the flat head so a beer can be set on top of....never mind.
  • To borrow from the Brazilian mention and from Whirlwind's tasteful allude to what a "Brazilian" really is.

    Q-Did you hear about the blonde who arrived at her doctor's office with severe burns in her intimate area?

    A-She was heard telling the nurse "how else am I supposed to wax? DUH! Everyone knows wax comes from candles!"
