Blonde as a Mother

"Blonde as a Mother"*

*My family physician told me of an incident that
actually happened to him back in the early days
of his practice.

He said a woman brought her baby to see him,
and he determined right away that the baby had
an earache. He wrote a prescription for ear drops.
In the directions he wrote, "Put two drops in right
ear every four hours" and he abbreviated "right"
as an R with a circle around it.

Several days passed, and the woman returned with
her baby, complaining that the baby still had an
earache, and his little behind was getting really
greasy with all those drops of oil.

The doctor looked at the bottle of ear drops and
sure enough, the pharmacist had typed the following
instructions on the label:

"Put two drops in R ear every four hours."

"The Blonde and the Job Interview"*

*A Blonde goes for a job interview in an office. The
interviewer starts with the basics. "So, Miss, can
you tell us your age, please?"

The Blonde counts carefully on her fingers for half
a minute before replying... "Ehhhh... 22."

The interviewer tries another straightforward one
to break the ice. "And can you tell us your height, please?"

The young lady stands up and produces a measuring
tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under
her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head.
She checks the measurement and announces..."Five foot two!"

This isn't looking good so the interviewer goes for the
real basics; something the interviewee won't have to
count, measure, or lookup. "Just to confirm for our
records, your name please?"

The Air head bobs her head from side to side for about
fifteen seconds, mouthing something silently to herself,
before replying..."Mandy!"

The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so
he asks, "What were you doing when I asked you your name?"

"Ohhhh, that!" replies the Air head," I was just running
through that song...'Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you....' "
