      <![CDATA[<p>And another Vulture joins the List Of Infrequent Contributors with this tale of wintery woe:</p>

<blockquote>
One winter morning, a husband and wife in northern Colorado were listening to the radio during breakfast.  They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through."   So the good wife went out and moved her car.

<p>A week later, while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through."  The good wife went out and moved her car again.</p>

<p>The next week, they were again having breakfast, when the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." Then the electric power went out.  The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "Honey, I don't know what to do.  Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?"</p>

<p>With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, the husband replied, "Considering the amount of snow they're expecting, I doubt it'll make much difference. Why don't you just leave it in the garage?"<br />
</blockquote></p>

<p>And a tip of the bullet-scarred SPH-4 to slick870. </p>

<p>Now Cassie will be gunning for *both* of us...</p>]]>

        A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake.  He finds his way to a barstool and orders a drink.  After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, &apos;Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?&quot;
The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet.  In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, &quot;Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is just fair - given that you are blind - that you should know five things:
1) the bartender is a blonde girl,
2) the bouncer is a blonde girl,
3) I&apos;m a 6 feet tall, 180-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate,
4) the woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weight lifter,
5) the lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.
Now think about it seriously,  Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?&quot;
The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares,  &quot;Nah.  Not if I&apos;m gonna have to explain it five times.&quot; 

*snicker*

        Thank you, Maggie..:)

As I recall though, we distracted Bill for several days with the mystery of EGG SALAD.
I believe FBL could attest to that as well.

And John, HF6 is a strawberry blonde.

        I don&apos;t know Carrie, but I&apos;ve got her back.  

My hair has been getting gradually more blonde while the Favorite Naval Consort is in a different time zone.  You know the whole &quot;while the cat&apos;s away....&quot;
