The Ventriloquist |
A ventriloquist was touring Sweden and one night he was performing in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he started going through some of his standard dumb blonde jokes.
Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stood on her chair and started shouting,
"I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes! What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blonde women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as people. It's people like you who make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general, all in the name of humor!"
The stunned ventriloquist started to apologize, but the blonde interrupted and screamed:
"You stay out of this. I'm talking to that little shit on your lap!"
