A young ventriloquist touring the clubs is doing a show in a small town in
Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, the goes through his usual dumb blonde
jokes when a blonde woman in
the 2nd row stands on her chair and shouts: "I've heard enough of your stupid
blond jokes!
"What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of
a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being?
"It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in
the community, and from reaching our full potential as a person because you and
your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against, not only blondes but
women in general. And you do it all in the name of humor".
Quite taken aback, the embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize.
But the blonde yells again, "You stay out of this, mister! I'm talking to that
little bastard on your knee!" |
