"JOKE OF THE MONTH"

The rules are simple to win: No "xxx" jokes, sorry. Kit Menkin cannot win  (relatives, friends and employees can enter and win). Please note, if in the decision of the judges there is no "best" joke, a previous month may be included, and like in horseshoes, there are no ties. Winners of previous months can also win a second or third time - There is no limit.

Please send me your favorite joke. The first one to send it, not only gets the credit, but a good bottle of wine or a box of chocolate (the winner’s choice).

Joke of the Month

80,000 blondes

80,000 blondes meet in Nashville, Tennessee for a "Blondes Are Not Stupid Convention"

The presenter says "We are all here today to prove to the world that blondes are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?"

One blonde steps up. The presenter says to her "What is 15 plus 15?" After 15 or 20 seconds she says "Eighteen."

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then 80,000 blondes start cheering "Give her another chance! Give her another chance!"

The presenter says, "Well since we've gone to the trouble of getting 80,000 of you here and the world wide press, I guess we can give her another chance".

So he says, "What is 5 plus 5?"

After nearly 30 seconds she eventually says "Ninety?" The presenter sighs - everyone is crestfallen and the blonde starts crying and 80,000 girls start yelling "Give her another chance! Give her another chance"!.

The presenter, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than damage, eventually says, "Ok! One more chance. What is 2 plus 2?" The girl closes her eyes and after a whole minute eventually says "Four".

Around the stadium 80,000 girls' start yelling, "Give her another chance! Give her another chance!"
