New Ginger Joke!

Time for the second installment of Ginger Joke of the Week! While I'm still not sure if I'll be continuing it weekly, I found this joke and knew I just had to post it. And now ladies and gentlemen, a short story for your reading pleasure.

A brunette, a red-head, and a blonde were in jail when they decided to break out. The girls broke out and the brunette said, "Let's hide in that barn, they'll never find us." So they climbed up the ladder to the rafters and then the blonde brought the ladder up. The next morning, the cops came into the barn and shouted, "Come out with your hands in the air!" The brunette said, hide in those potato sacks, they'll never find us!" So the brunette got in the first one, the blonde got in the second, and the red-head got in the third, all while the police were setting up a ladder to climb the rafters. Once they got up, the sergeant ordered them to kick the sacks. So the cop kicked the first one: "RUFF." "It's just a dog!" yelled the cop. The cop kicked the next one: "MEOW." "It's just a cat," yelled the cop. The cop kicked the last potato sack and the red-head yelled, "POTATOES."

Back when I was a kid in elementary school, I heard many stories similar to this one, only it was always the blonde who took the dim-witted role. These days, I've been told many times that "gingers are the new blondes." I have certainly had my fair share of stupid moments but to call us the new blondes? Out of all the stereotypes of gingers (mainly the fact that we don't have souls), or any groups of people, be it by hair color, ethnicity, or religion, I think the most insulting would be insulting our intelligence.  The fact is there will always be those who are better at certain things than others, and that each person has their own talents. Stupid stereotypes are easily ignored, because you can easily see that they are false. These are the types of things Tim Minchin (see my last blog) is good at making fun of. Now don't let this rant fool you, it's very hard to insult me especially with things as trivial as telling me I don't have a soul. Others, however, are much more easy to hurt. So just as the cliche saying tells you, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. Don't be a ginger racist!
