AND FINALLY
A blind cowboy walks into a bar. He sits at the Bar and orders a beer and he starts to tell a joke about a blond girl. The girl sitting beside him says “Before you tell that joke I should tell you as you are blind there are 5 things you should know 1 the bar tender is a blond girl with a baseball bat, 2 the bouncer is a blond girl with a Billy club. 3 I’m a 6ft blond woman with a black belt in karate, 4 the woman sitting next to me is blond and a professional weight lifter and 5 the lady to your right is a professional wrestler. Now cowboy seriously do you want to tell a blond joke”
The blind cowboy thinks for a while then shakes his head and mutters “No not if I have to explain it 5 times.”
