Here's another of those "woman of indeterminate hair color" jokes from
"adoring reader" Linruga:
A woman of indeterminate hair color is sitting at her kitchen table
putting a puzzle together. The phone rings, and it is her mom.
"Mom," she says, "I am putting this puzzle together but none of the
pieces fit! They're all weird and jagged!"
"What is the puzzle a picture of, dear?" asked her mother.
"I don't know, but there's a pretty tiger on the box."
"Dear," replied her mother, "put the cornflakes back in the box and go
make yourself a nice cup of tea."
