A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

| Smart Set commented on 04.30.05 | | You're welcome. Incidentally, you wrote "ah hah"; my dictionary has "aha". Does this matter?:-) |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 04.30.05 | | Ah hah. My dictionary says "Blond as an adjective may be used of both sexes. Blonde and brunette as nouns are used only of females." Thanks for your insight. This actually matters. |

| Smart Set commented on 04.30.05 | | Well, Rebecca, my Oxford English Dictionary has this to say on the usage: "The alternative spellings "blond" and "blonde" correspond to the feminine and masculine forms in French, but in English the distinction is not always made, as English does not have such distinctions of grammatical gender. Thus, "blond woman" or "blonde woman", "blond man" or "blonde man" are all used. The word is more commonly used of women, though, and in the noun the spelling is typically "blonde"."
As for me, when I was a lad "blond" was always used for boys or men (as adjective or noun) and "blonde" for girls or women, again as adjective or noun. I would think it odd if I saw written "a blonde man", but I'm probably not keeping up with the times. |

|
| Rebecca commented on 04.30.05 | | I thought it was more like blonde is a noun and blond is an an adjective. |

|
| Smart Set commented on 04.30.05 | | Hey, ART, "blond" is for males, "blonde" for females ;¬) |

|
| ART-chislecht commented on 04.29.05 | | tell us, as I haven't got a blond partner |
|
|
| DVD Dan commented on 04.29.05 | | Reminds me of that blonde joke about painting the porch. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 04.28.05 | | The car does NOT match the house in terms of chimneys, unless it is a twinpipe model, which looks unlikely. |
