Are You Really Sure?
 A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"
In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something."
Our bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5" pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

Explaining why Kate, 34, had topped the list, the survey said: "In the four films starring Kate, we are given dream sequences that invite us to imagine how we might fulfill her desires. 
"The dreams are beautifully crafted fantasies, each with an eerie atmosphere that brings us into a serene la-la land where we feel free to imagine pleasing Kate." 
The 34-year-old singer Kylie Minogue, 40, to claim the second place of the top Agent Provocateur model of all time.
Third place in the poll was taken by Dita Von Teese, 35, who was recently voted the world's sexiest Wonderbra babe.
Explaining Moss' victory, the survey stated: "In the four films starring Kate, we are given dream sequences that invite us to imagine how we might fulfill her desires."
"The dreams are beautifully crafted fantasies, each with an eerie atmosphere that brings us into a serene la-la land where we feel free to imagine pleasing Kate," The Daily Star quoted the statement, as adding.
In fourth spot is model Alice Dellal, 20 - who will soon be seen in a new photoshoot and film promo for the lingerie firm.
Alice is followed by Lily Cole, 20, who caught the eye of those surveyed by recently walking down a catwalk with other Agent Provocateur models carrying whips and chains.
