Considering the amount of snow that is expected tonight and the challenge snow presents for parking, the email I received this morning was perfectly timed. By the way...no offense to blondes (on a good day I am one). Insert any hair color or nationality where the word blonde appears to suit your audience.
Subject: Parking the CarThe local radio announcer on the local radio station said, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car again.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." Then the power went out. Norman's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I
don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?"
With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to Blondes exhibit, Norman says...
"Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"
On a separate note: If you are wondering why the spelling of blond(e) varies, it is because the commonly accepted practice is to include the "e" when referencing a female and to not include the "e" when referencing a male.
My father sent me this picture that that was snapped by a friend of his. It is from the parking lot of Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. According to my father's friend, this misspelling has been there for about seven months.
