SUNDAY FUNNIES: THE GENERIC JOKE

A natural blonde
Hello everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
There are all kinds of jokes in the world besides the obvious duo of funny and not funny.
There are one-liners, story jokes, monologues... you get the idea.
But one group of jokes that (depending upon the subject) is receiving mixed reviews nowadays is the ridicule joke, where one specific type of person or group is made to look bad during the course of the gags.
Blondes, Aggies, ethnic communities, and a whole bunch of others; whether they are legitimate targets or not, have been the butt of jokes long before even my great-grandmother was sired.

So today, what I am going to do is present a bunch of jokes that originally targeted blondes for their source of humor in such a way that no one will take offense in this oversensitive world of political correctness we find ourselves in today.
Ready?

Two people who had never been to Florida before longed to see Disneyland. They were driving down the freeway when they saw a road sign that said "Disneyland Left".
Sad and disappointed, they turned around and started making their way back home.

A police officer pulled a driver over for speeding and asked for a driver's license.
"Why? Don't you have one?" asked the speeder.
"Yes, but I want to see yours," replied the police officer.
"I wish you folks would get your act together," said the driver. "A police officer took away my license last week and now you want to see it?"

Out for a nice walk, a person comes to a stream.
Wanting to get across, the pedestrian shouted, "How do I get to the opposite side of this stream?"
The person there looked around for a bit, and then shouted back, "You already are!"

A patient rushed into the doctor's office complaining that wherever they touched their body, it hurt.
The doctor wanted proof, so the patient started proving the claim.
"That's impossible. Your finger must be broken," realized the doctor.
"It is? That's a relief. Thanks doctor," said the patient, before turning around and leaving.

A group of people were playing Trivia Pursuit. The category was Science and Nature, and the question was, "If you are in a vacuum and somebody calls your name, can you hear them?"
The contestant thought about it for a moment and then replied, "That depends. Is the vacuum off or on?"

A person bought two new dogs and was showing them off to their neighbor.
When the neighbor asked what the dog's names were, the proud new owner said "Timex and Rolex."
"Why did you name your dogs that?" asked the neighbor.
"They're watch dogs."

Now then, maybe the above are not as funny as the originals, but no majority or minority was harmed in the telling of these jokes and a splendid time was had by all.
Or was it?
In any event, have a great week folks and please be back here next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!-AtP.
