"Blonde Jokes"

[AngJum]

Ok, I seriously don't see the point in these, why do sad people laugh about other people because of their hair colour?
Joke about them, say they are thick.. I mean really, there probably isn't even any evidence showing that the colour
of your hair can change how many brain cells you have. :s I just want to know why, why are people so prejudiced?
They have no idea, and they may call others thick but in the end, they will end up to be the 'thick' ones :rolleyes:
Sometimes, you see a brunette one day, the next, she has blonde hair; she dyed it, why? Her roots will just come
out brown :s (And yes I'm blonde - but I'm not thick, I do good in school I try hard.. so don't even go there)

Some random facts :
Introduction
I am a trivia buff, and love collecting tons of useful/less factoids. Give me a subject, and nine times out of ten, I’ll have some trivia on it. Did you know that there are loads of really weird hair facts? By far the yuckiest fact about hair is that our old pal, the wood roach, will happily eat all the hair he/she can find. Evidently, besides tasting yummy, it builds up the keratin in their shells. By the way, they also like a side of fingernail clippings as well…

And from our friends on the Hair Haare site (HAIR-:The Daily Fascination), these notable facts:

· Average number of hairs on the head: 100,000

· Red hair: 90,000

· Black hair: 110,000

· Blond hair: 140,000

· Maximum length of hair: 70 to 90 cm

· Annual growth: 12 cm

· Female hair grows more slowly than male hair (wouldn’t you just know it)

· Male hair is more dense than female hair (ditto)

· Lifespan of hair: 2 to 7 years

· Diameter of hair: 0.1 mm

· Load-carrying capacity: 100 grams (= one chocolate bar)

· Humidity stretches the hair

· Combing is less detrimental than brushing

· Correct shampooing will not dry out the hair

· Frequent washing does not increase loss of hair

· Hair grows faster in warm weather

· Elderly people have slower hair growth and diminished hair density

· Cutting hair does not influence its growth

· Spliced ends can not be repaired and need to be cut

· Wet hair should not be rubbed since hair is very sensitive

Natural Hair Colors
A person's genes determine the hair/skin/eye color since before his or her birth. The determinants for hair color are known as melanocytes. These cells form the natural hair colors, or pigments and distinguish between black, brown, and red. Depending on the percentage of each pigment, the person has blonde, brown, red or black hair. As the melanocytes decay during a lifetime, the hair becomes a dull gray and later on it turns into a whitish color.

The Human Hair
Hair covers the whole body, with the exception of soles of feet, palms of hands, mucous membranes, and lips.

The lifespan of a human hair is 3 to 7 years in the average.

For good hair health, try wholemeal products, eggs, liver, kidneys, vitamin D, herrings, salmon, carrots, green vegetables, and vitamin C.

Pigments give the hair its color. When we age, hair receives fewer pigments and turns gray or white.

And how about this?

Circus artists often display a spectacular trick: "hanging on a plait." A female artist is held up with her hair. High up in the circus tent, she swings upon her whole weight, often with another person or all sorts of circus paraphernalia, all hanging by her hair. Ouch….

Amazing facts from the Amazing Hair Facts site:

· Hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body, second only to bone marrow.

· 35 meters of hair fibre is produced every day on the average adult scalp.

· The average scalp has 100,000 hairs. Redheads have the least at 80,000; brown and black haired persons have about 100,000; and blondes have the most at 120,000.

· 90% of scalp hairs are growing and 10% are resting.

· It is normal to lose 100 hairs per day from the scalp.

· You must lose over 50% of your scalp hairs before it is apparent to anyone.

· Many drugs can cause hair loss.

· Thyroid imbalance and iron deficiency are reversible causes for hair loss.

· Over 50% of men by age 50 have male pattern hair loss.

· Forty percent of women by the time they reach menopause will have female pattern (hereditary) hair loss.

And all those are just a sampling of the many weird and wonderful hair facts out there. Be the first on your block to amaze (or bore) your family and friends!

Mmm same here, I'm blonde, though I am in a way a blonde sort of dumb but I am clever at the same time. My mates always say to me 'it's cause your blonde' etc. lol

[GommeInc]

Theres a good come back to blonde jokes blonde girls should remember.

'Why are blonde jokes so short?' So men can remember them

Sometimes I have no common sense, but that's not cause I'm blonde

And why do they say that? Aint they meant to be your friends? Some
of you probably think "Oh she needs to grow up and have a laugh" but
why? Why do you pick on others like this? Someone has to say something,
look at Martin Luther King.. I don't like prejudiced people

And Gom, now that's sexist

[ChloeDust]

I completely aggree, im brunette but it still does my head in when people go 'Its because your blonde' or you 'blonde Bimbo' its like erm, get a life you jerk, because they have no evidence showing that they are dumb because of there hair colour? Its so annoying and the phrase's should stop being used. -.-" :eusa_doh:

[lauralol]

I am dumb, but as you say.. it's not cause I'm blonde, I just seem dumb sometimes. I get why people say blonde jokes.. you know, I understand what they mean by them, but why not brunettes or redheads? Why blondes?

[ChloeDust]

Exactly? Who ever made up the phrases must be a right idiot. lol

[AngJum]

No.. but, it's just.. I know I can't exactly stop people from making up these sad things to fill an hour of their time, but.. why? Why do people be so judgemental? It's not every blonde who is dumb, nor black headed, brunette.. whatever.. I just disagree with everything they say, as they have no evidence, and until that evidence is presented I shall not laugh because they aint even funny :s Notice none of the people who think they are funny aren't replying with their "come backs" because they are so thick, eh?

How is it proven? Where is the proof of this? On some trustworthy offical site? no? Well then, shut up.. and why do you do a space and then a comma? And type with capitals where they aren't needed? It's pretty pathetic and wasteful.. god!
