I was reading in a magazine last night and found this article that I thought was interesting. I've been a blonde my whole life and have felt the brunt of more than a few blonde jokes. This article is found in the April 2006 issue of Ladies Home Journal, page 22 and is written by Stephanie Emma Pfeffer.
" No matter how many smart, talented blondes there are out there, it seems that dumb-blonde jokes will always be with us. Why are some stereotypes so intractable? Because people tend to retain their preconceptions even when the facts don't support their ideas.
[...] So if someone assumes a fair-haired woman can't hold their own intellectually, he will cling to this belief-even when the blonde
is a real-life rocket scientist, Though overcompensating may help blondes show people the error of their prejudices, [ everyone should ] keep an open mind."
Remember this next time you're tempted to tell a blonde joke. :)

"Blondes are idiots! " ( that's what Nate and his friends said, sorry =P )
A blonde was driving beside a truck and at the stop light she got out and yelled at the guy " Hey you are losing your load all over the road ! " He just looked at her really weird and drove on. at the next light she did the same thing, and so on for the next 3 lights. Finally after 5 times the guy yelled back at her "hey stupid, I'm driving a salt truck"
