Daily Dose of Blonde Humour

There was a typical blonde. She had long, blonde hair, blue eyes, and she was sick of all the blond jokes. One day, she decided to get a make-over, so she cut and dyed her hair. She also went out and bought a new convertible. She went driving down a country road and came across …
