(Phew! I just dodged another bullet!) Several months back I posted some blonde jokes. A blonde friend asked me to please cool it for a while with the blonde jokes! Figuring there might be others who felt the same way and just hadn’t expressed their sentiments to me, I honored her plea. Please, don’t shoot me! Actually, if you looked at the pictures of me mentioned above, you will see that I am becoming somewhat of a platinum blond myself. Hence, lately I’m a bit more sensitive myself to humor about those with lighter hair.
As a result, today’s jokes are about airheads instead….

A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a gathering for airheads where his hostess broached a subject with which the doctor was quite at ease.
“Would you mind telling me, Doctor,” she asked, “how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?”
“That’s easy,” he replied. “You ask them a simple question which everyone should be able to answer with no trouble. If they hesitate, that puts you on the right track.”
“What sort of question would you ask, Doctor?”
“Well, I might ask, “Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?’”
The airhead thought for a moment, then said with a nervous laugh - “You wouldn’t happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don’t know much about history.”

There are two women getting ready to leave for work. The first one gets in the driver’s seat and her airheaded friend gets in the passenger’s seat. The drivers says, “We’re late, so you watch out the back window for cops.” As she speeds down the road she asks the airhead, “So, do you see any cops?”
The airhead replies, “Yes.” The driver says, “Are they behind us?” “Yes.” “Are they close?” “Yes.” “Are they going to stop us?” “I don’t know.” “Well, are their lights on?” “Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes.”

A airhead was recently hired at an office. Her first task was to go out for coffee. Eager to do well her first day on the job, she grabbed a large thermos and hurried to a nearby coffee shop. She held up the thermos and the coffee shop worker quickly came over to take her order.
“Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?” the airhead asked. The coffee shop worker looked at the thermos, hesitated a few seconds, then finally replied, “Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me.” “Oh good!” the airhead sighed in relief. “Then give me two regular black, two regular with cream, and two decafs with sugar.

The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so an airheaded woman went in to try out for the job.
“Okay,” said the sheriff, “what is 1 and 1?”
“Eleven,” she replied.
The sheriff thought to himself, “That’s not what I meant, but I guess she’s right technically.”
“What two days of the week start with the letter ‘T’?”
“Today and tomorrow.”
He was again surprised that the airhead supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.
“Now, listen carefully. Who killed Abraham Lincoln?”
The airhead looked a little surprised, thought really hard for a minute, and finally admitted, “I don’t know.”
“Well, why don’t you go home and work on that one for awhile?”
So, the airhead wandered over to the beauty parlor, where her pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. The airhead was exultant. “It went great! First day on the job and I’m already working on a murder case!”

The other day I was in the local auto part store. An airhead came in and asked for a seven ten cap.
We all looked at each other and said, “What’s a seven ten cap?”
She said “You know, it’s right on the engine. Mine got lost somehow and I need a new one.”
“What kind of a car is it on,” they asked?
I’m thinking maybe an old Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she said its a Buick.
“OK lady, how big is it?”
She makes a circle with her hands about 3-1/2 inches in diameter.
What does it do?,” we asked.
She said, “I don’t know, but its always been there.”
One of us gave her a note pad and asked her if she could draw a picture of it. So she makes a circle about 3-1/2 inches in diameter and in the center she writes 710.
The guys behind the counter were looking at it upside down as she wrote it…and they just fell down behind the counter laughing so hard in hysterics.

An airhead goes for a job interview in an office. The interviewer starts with the basics. “So, Miss, can you tell me your age, please?”
The airhead counts carefully on her fingers for half a minute before replying. “Um … 22.”
The interviewer tries another straightforward question to break the ice. “And can you tell me your height, please?”
The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head. She checks the measurement and announces, “Five foot two!”
This isn’t looking good, so the interviewer goes for the real basics - something she won’t have to count, measure, or look up. “Uh, just to confirm for our records, your name please?”
She bobs her airy head from side to side for about fifteen seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying, “Jenny!”
The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks, “What were you doing after I asked you your name?”
“Oh, that!” replies the airhead,” I was just running through that song, ‘Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear….’”

Two tourists were driving through Louisiana. As they were approaching Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.
As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the airheaded employee, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are … very slowly?”
The airheaded girl leaned over the counter and said, “Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiing.”

An airhead named Barbara is appearing on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. The following exchange takes place:
Regis: Barbara, you’ve done very well so far - $500,000 and one lifeline left - phone a friend. The next question will give you a million dollars if you get it right … but if you get it wrong you will drop back to $32,000 - are you ready?
Barbara: Sure, I’ll have a go at it.
Regis: Which of the following birds does not build its own nest? Is it…
A. Robin
B. Sparrow
C. Cuckoo
D. Thrush.
Remember Barbara it’s worth one million dollars.
Barbara: I think I know who it … but I’m not 100%…. No, I haven’t got a clue. I’d like to phone a friend, Regis, just to be sure.
Regis: Yes, who, Barbara, do you want to phone?
Barbara: I’ll phone my friend Carol back home in Brooklyn. (ringing)
Carol (also an airhead): Hello…
Regis: Hello Carol, it’s Regis Philbin here from Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I have Barbara here and she is doing really well on $500,000, but needs your help to a million. The next voice you hear will be Barbara’s and she’ll read you the question. There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct answer and you have 30 seconds to answer - fire away Barbara.
Barbara: Carol, which of the following birds does not build its own nest? Is it:
A. Robin
B. Sparrow
C. Cuckoo
D. Thrush
Carol: Oh, Barbara, that’s simple! It’s a Cuckoo.
Barbara: You think so?
Carol: I’m sure.
Barbara: Thanks, Carol. (hangs up)
Regis: Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or play on for the million, Barbara?
Barbara: I want to play, I’ll go with C. Cuckoo.
Regis: Is that your final answer?
Barbara: It is.
Regis: Are you confident?
Barbara: Yes, fairly, Carol may be an airhead, but she’s a real wiz about some things.
Regis: Barbara … you had $500,000 and you said C. Cuckoo … you’re right! You have just won ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Here is your check. You have been a great contestant. Audience please put your hands together for Barbara.
(clapping)
That night Barbara goes to Carol’s to celebrate. Barbara turns to Carol and asks, “Tell me Carol, how in the world did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest?”
Carol: Listen Barbara, everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock.

A young man wanted to get his beautiful, yet airheaded wife something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decided to buy her a cell phone. She was all excited, she loved her phone. He showed her and explained to her all the features on the phone.
The next day the wife went shopping. Her phone rang and it was her husband. “Hi, Hon!” he said. “How do you like your new phone?”
She replied, “I just love it, it’s so small and your voice is clear as a bell but there’s one thing I don’t understand though.”
“What’s that, baby?” asked the husband.
“How did you know I was at Wal-Mart?”

Airhead’s Cook Book
MONDAY:
It’s fun to cook for Bob. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.
TUESDAY:
Bob wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn’t dress. What a surprise when Bob brought a friend home for supper.
WEDNESDAY:
A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kinda of silly but I took a bath. I can’t say it improved the rice any.
THURSDAY:
Today Bob asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Which is what led up to Bob asking me why I was rolling around in the garden.
FRIDAY:
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put all ingredients in bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.
SATURDAY:
Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. (Oh, boy… for some reason Bob keeps counting to ten.)
SUNDAY:
Bob’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast. All I could find was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.
GOOD NIGHT, DEAR DIARY.
This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Bob. If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with Chocolate Moose.
A policeman is interrogating three airheads who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first airhead a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it.
“This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”
The first airhead answers, “That’s easy, we’ll catch him fast because he only has one eye!”
The policeman says, “Well … uh … that’s because the picture shows his profile.”
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second airhead and asks her, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”
The second airhead giggles, flips her hair and says, “Ha! He’d be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!”
The policeman angrily responds, “What’s the matter with you two?! Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it’s a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third airhead and in a very irritated voice asks, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?” He quickly adds “…think hard before giving me a stupid answer.”
She looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, “Hmmmm … the suspect wears contact lenses.”
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn’t know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not.
“Well, that’s an interesting answer … wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that.”
He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect’s file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.
“Wow! I can’t believe it … it’s TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?”
“That’s easy,” the airhead replied. “He can’t wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.”

For those of you who don’t already know, I let my beard grow for the first three weeks of my Christmas break. At the end of that time, I decided to shave it off. Although several people have said they’re disappointed that I’ve shaved off my beard, I’ve had far more people tell me that I look better or younger without it. Several have outright *thanked* me for shaving it off, saying they’re glad they don’t have to look at me with the beard and try to overlook it! For those who didn’t get to see me with the beard and would like to, at the top of my blog, I’ve put back the picture of me looking out over the city of Paris. (Psst! …whisper… For the sake of the gullible, that’s not really me up there - unfortunately I didn’t get to Paris over the holidays!) I did put pictures of me with my beard in a comment to a recent blog post. You can see them by clicking here. I’ve chosen as my new motto, “Beautifying America, one shave at a time.”

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
School is plenty busy. I guess the semester is far enough along that it’s time for tests. My students have commented that it seems to be in almost all their classes this week, unfortunately.
