A blond had a sick dog. (Might be a joke, or maybe not)
A blond had a sick dog.
Someone on Facebook told her to call a vet. She called her neighbor, who is she knew is a Vietnam vet. He asked why she was calling, and she said "My dog is sick and I need your help". He told her that he dont know anything about sick dogs.... She said to him "It's your job to care for sick dogs and you better get your ****ing ass over here now". He hung up. She posted on Facebook, "I called a vet and he said he dont know nothing about sick dogs, what do I do now? |

The car is parked on the street in front of the bank; she has the title, and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the blonde returns and repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely; but we are a little puzzled. We checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is - why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The blond replies....."Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?" ================================================= =============== Thats a good one LOL |

Per DerbyDad03:
What does being "blonde" have to do with this joke? In fact, it flies in the face of the entire genre of blonde jokes That's the joke.... -- Pete Cresswell |

She was using her feminine wiles on the men at the bank. She could very well have been a brunette who dyed her hair blond. She played those guys.

I too heard the same "joke" many years ago. It's been floating around in various forms (different people, different cars) for a long time. Snopes does believe any of them to be true, and FWIW, neither do I. http://www.snopes.com/parking-vijay-mallya-joke/ |

Their only contact with people is on a computer monitor or smartphone screen. They dont know how to interact with actual people face to face. And I wonder how many of the flooders (like a few on this newsgroup, who post hundreds of messages each month) are on mood altering meds, if not in an institution for psychological issues. |

The fact is (as I mentioned earlier) that I have heard this joke many times in the past and, in fact, based on the fact that I grew up in NYC I find it quite humorous as well as ingenious. If you ever tried to park in NYC, you know what I am talking about. My only issue was that fact that this telling was attributed to a blonde, which not only doesn't make sense because blonde jokes are supposed to *make fun* of blondes, not highlight their intelligence, but also because there is no need to attribute the story to *any* particular group (other than the rich perhaps) because it adds nothing to the joke. The original joke in this thread refers to a blonde and fits the genre of "dumb blonde jokes". The story of the loan, while both funny and ingenious, does not need the blond reference to make it funny. |
