Monday's smile: Blond inventions

OK, guys - here's a chance for you to show your creative side. Below you'll see a list someone sent me of "blond inventions". (NOTE - If you're a blond, I hope you have a sense of humor as well as a creative side!)

Here's the challenge: Can you come up with some more "blond inventions" to add to the list? I'll welcome your ideas, and even turn it into a contest. Entries will be accepted until the end of the month, and the winner will receive a copy of Bill Bryson's book, Notes from a Small Island.

Bryson, born and raised in the U.S., spent most of his working years in England, and loved it there. Later, he moved back to the States, and was confronted with a tremendous "culture shock", which he describes in this book. It will make you laugh!

  2. Marion's too shy (???) to post her submission, but she sent this blond joke which I'll submit on her behalf. The invention? A hole:



    Two blond girls were working for the city council public works department..

    One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind and fill the hole in.

    They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.

    An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, 'I'm impressed by the effort you two put into your work, but I don't get it - why do you dig a hole, to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?'

    The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, 'Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team.

    But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick.'
