(Normally I'm not a big fan of dumb blonde jokes, agreeing that they can be disrespectful to good people sometimes. But when I emailed the one below to a friend of mine, Angela, a good-natured blonde woman I know, she emailed back to me that she thought it was hilarious. So I thought maybe that made posting it okay).
A ventriloquist is performing one night with his dummy on his knee. He starts going through some classic dumb blonde jokes.
Suddenly, a blonde woman in the crowd stands up and yells out:
"Hey, I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes! What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does a woman's hair color have to do with her intelligence? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community! It's men like you who make others think that all blonde women are dumb! And it’s your kind who perpetuate discrimination, not just against blondes, but against women in general, and all in the name of so-called humor!"
The ventriloquist sits there in shocked silence as he realizes the truth of her words, and then begins to apologize outloud for his thoughtlessness: “I am very sorry! It never occurred to me that I was…”
but the blonde interrupts him immediately, yelling angrily:
"You stay out of this! I'm talking to that big mouth little jerk sitting on your lap!"
