Blonde Jokes

Brother-in-law Charlie always has some good jokes.

Two Blondes With Hammers...
Carol and Donna, were doing some carpenter work on a Habitat for Humanity house. Carol, who was nailing down house siding, would reach into her nail pouch, pull out a nail and either toss it over her shoulder or nail it in. Donna, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those nails away?" Carol explained, "When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them have the head on the wrong end and I throw them away." Donna got completely upset and yelled, "You moron! Those nails aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!"

Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death in a drive-in movie?
They had gone to see "Closed for the Winter."

A blonde hurried into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off. "How did this happen?" the emergency room doctor asked her. "Well, I was trying to commit suicide," the blonde replied. "What?" sputtered the doctor. "You tried to commit suicide by shooting off your finger?" "No, Silly" the blonde said. "First I put the gun to my chest, and then I thought, 'I just paid $6,000.00 for these implants. I'm not shooting myself in the chest." "So then?" asked the doctor . "I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought, "I just paid $3,000.00 to get my teeth straightened. I'm not shooting myself in the mouth." "So then?" "Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: "This is going to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in my other ear before I pulled the trigger."

Did you hear about the near-tragedy at the mall? There was a power outage, and three blondes were stuck on the escalator for more than four hours.

A blonde was driving home after a game and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop. Th e shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun. He told her to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out. So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her tailpipe. Nothing happened. So she blew a little harder, and still nothing happened. Her blonde roommate saw her and asked, "What are you doing?" The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tail pipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. The roommate rolled her eyes and said, "Duh, like... HELLO! You need to roll up the windows first."

A blonde was shopping at Target and came across a shiny silver thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and took it to the clerk to ask what it was. The clerk said, "Why, that's a thermos.....it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold." "Wow," said the blonde, "that's amazing.! ...I'm going to buy it!!" So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk. "What's that," he asked? "Why, that's a thermos.....it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she replied. Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it?" The blond replied........"Two popsicles and some coffee."

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss asked sympathetically, "What's the matter?" The blonde replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away." The boss, feeling sorry for her, says, "Why don't you go home for the day? Take the day off to relax and rest." "Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have a better chance of doing that here." The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work usual. A couple of hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out from his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically. "What's so bad now? Are you gonna be okay?" he asks. "No!" exclaims the blonde. " I just received a horrible call from my > sister. Her mother died, too."

Kentucky Derby Food

That was some race this year. We were at a party where we served this dish.

Kentucky Burgoo Recipe

Just the thing for Kentucky Derby parties. This is complicated, and it takes four or more hours to make this, but it’s worth it. This makes over a gallon of burgoo, so invite a lot of your friends.

8 tablespoons olive oil
4 or 5 pounds boneless beef round or chuck, trimmed of excess fat
1 (3 to 4-pound) chicken, cut into pieces
2 onions, quartered
2 bay leaves
Seasoning mixture:
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

8 tablespoons flour
2 slices country ham and 6 slices bacon, diced
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
2 cups chopped onions
4 whole cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
3 quarts chicken and beef broth
2 cups medium diced carrots
1 cup medium diced green bell peppers
2 cups canned peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes
1 pound Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup fresh or frozen baby lima beans
2 cups sliced okra, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 cups Bourbon
2 cups frozen shoe peg corn kernels
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a large heavy pot heat the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef and chicken in the oil. Remove from oil (reserve the oil) and place in a large kettle. Add quartered onions, bay leaves and the seasoning mixture. Simmer about 15 minutes per pound until very tender, about two hours, skimming to remove any scum that forms on the surface. When the beef and chicken are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones and discard. Chop the meat. Strain the broth from both meats.

While chicken and beef cook make a roux from the reserved oil (measure and make sure there are 8 tablespoons) and the flour. Cook very slowly, stirring constantly until it is a dark brown. The darker the roux the tastier the stew. A good dark roux takes almost an hour, but it adds a great flavor. Stir in the strained broth and cook until thickened.

In a large kettle cook ham and bacon until fat is rendered. Remove ham and bacon. Set aside. To the fat in the pan, add the chopped onions, okra, carrots and bell peppers, and cook stirring, until soft, 4 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, potatoes, lima beans, Bourbon, curry powder, brown sugar, black pepper, salt and thickened broth (actually it’s a tasty, brown gravy). Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often, until thick and the potatoes are tender, about an hour. Add the corn and cooked beef and chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the ham, bacon and parsley and stir. Adjust the seasoning.

Remove from the heat and serve hot with hot biscuits.
