…here it is: The Best. Blonde Joke. Ever.
“Mysterious Ways (Apollo 440 Magic Hour)” by U2 from the album Mysterious Ways (1991, 4:26).
It’s not really a “blond” joke, more of a “shaggy dog” tale. I pursued this to the present-day end, although I “got it” after the third link. This actually reminds me a lot of the present Bush administration and is an analog to the Iraq war. Ain’t that a bitch – wonder how many Bushies will ever actually “get” the blonde joke being played on them?
BTW, hate to say this, I watched SciFi’s remake of the “War of the Worlds,” it was unusual in that it was actually beneath the standards of recent SciFi homemade movies. I still haven’t seen the Tom Cruise version – something about the Ron L Hubbardism aspects of Cruise keep me away from all his movies.
I’m in agreement with Chas: It only took me two links to figure it out. Wondered why you didn’t use a trackback link with credit (as you usually do), then it was pretty quick to set in. And I’m pretty damn blonde when it comes to that sort of thing.
Chris, is there a specific reason that you had to get political on this? Couldn’t you have just left the last line of your first paragraph off? Geez.
