Ah, Geoff, nothing like poking fun at blondes! By the way, what's the difference between a blonde and a mosquito? A mosquito stops sucking after you slap it.

OK, enough of that... I hope the latest news about your wife is good. I haven't heard anything lately.

    We are trying to get the Carer times sorted more to her liking. I can't remember if you are on Facebook and if so are we friends on there? So far up until today they were leaving her in Bed till 10am and putting her back in at 4pm. Well she was got up at 9am and still went back at 4pm so things maybe improving. I AM composing a new chapter for my biography all about the last 11 or 12 weeks of Louise being in Hospital.

    Thanks for the info, Geoff. We are FB friends, but I don't go to FB very often anymore.

Hi, Sankey. This was a funny little story.
As a blonde, I don't mind blonde jokes, but some do.
Oh, this kind of story would be so politically incorrect in the work place these days.
:)
The world is losing its humour as the feminists gather momentum.
A fun read.

    Oh me ain't that the truth about the fems. Not sure if I have said before...I still wonder what the fems and Women's Libbers are doing for the oppressed of their sex in Saudi Arabia and so on? NOTHING I FEAR! Thanks for the great review. Glad you take it in the spirit intended.

Short, but to the point.

Well written with a touch of humor thrown in for good measure.

Yep, she really is a blond, and does not know her finger is broken, but believes other body parts are causing her pain.

Being blond myself, I have heard all kinds of similar comments before.

Now that my friend was funny. You had me until the very end. Good clean writing. Fun to read and would really make a good stage scene. Great job. Gretchen

Clever of you to put this joke in script form. I could see you expanding it, but sometimes short and sweet is the best. Thanks for a good laugh!

    Hi Heidi, yeah an old joke no malicious intent but some tended to view it that way. Thanks for the lovely review.

Pain will dictate the area it wants to give it opinion to age attention from. This is very well written with an interesting flow of words.

hi there,

WhenI touch my shoulder - need a space before the 'I'.

Rita::How do you know, doctor? - this line stuck out for me as it is a bit of an odd thing to say given that she'd probably have blonde hair?

An old joke parcelled up as script form.

    Ah well thanks for coming by. I will go back and work on that error. Fact is not only blondes or red heads or brunettes or?? can be dumb some times, hehe.

I don't dare show this to my adult daughter who is a true redhead, though it was a funny story, And a good change of pace to read something as this...almost like those old slapstick comedians as such as Groucho Marx, the doctor...and not sure who would play the redhead, maybe Lucille Ball.

Thanks for sharing...Caressa_08

    Hey Sis, someone got upset with the hit on the blondes and redheads but we all know nuttiness is not limited to blondes and redheads ok! Some of us bald blokes can be nuts too! Thanks for coming by.

    That reminds me my 76yr old brother-in-law that is minus a lot of hair, though young at heart... and his favorite comedian is WC Fields, and my all time favorites are Oliver & Hardy ...remembering you & wife dressed up as them for a a Halloween party.
    Have a good day, in Australia...C.

    You mean Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy yes that was a fantastic night. Have to write something about that. Thanks for the reminder.
