A female lawyer got into a sticky situation when she attempted a U-turn and drove straight onto a bed of freshly laid wet cement in Houston, Texas.
Road workers stationed in the city couldn't believe there eyes as the driver totally ignored the bright orange markers and planted all four-wheels of her £70,000 luxury Lexus square on the concrete.

Spent two years and ten months in SE Asia and very quickly found out that the are no traffic rules of the road there either. Most drove by ear.

Which reminds me, back in the 60’s a friend of the Family got rear ended by a Cop, TWICE in two years time.
And no, it wasn't the same Cop, but the Friend was driving the same car both times...

too darned Hornswoggled to realise the ignorance of it all.

No you would never ask any of those questions because that would be racist, but it is fine to imply that someone with a hair color unique to the White race is stupid. Melanesian boy with natural blond hair.
"Blond hair is exceptionally rare among those without European heritage, however the Melanesians of New Guinea are one of the few non-European races and the only black race known to have a high blonde hair rate. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_hair_color#Blond_hair
At least to non-blonds, blond hair is simply a personal choice, like a style of haircut or an article of clothing. Since hair color can be cheaply and painlessly changed in minutes, blond hair is considered to be fair game for jokes in a way that most congenital physical conditions are not.

How about asking if she had nappy hair, slanty eyes, a red dot, or a hooked nose? No you would never ask any of those questions because that would be racist, but it is fine to imply that someone with a hair color unique to the White race is stupid. My daughters are blond and I can assure you that they are not stupid.Impossible. Your daughters must be utterly moronic, for it is scientifically PROVEN thst blond hair is a marker for a 20 to 40 point IQ deficit.
It's a fsct; Google it.

Hey, humble’s just that kind of guy.
She saw him, he smiled, she decided to pull closer to litigate.
She fell right into his trap.

Blond isn’t just a hair color, it’s a state of mind.

You forgot the coffee shop across the street, for being a silent witness... All the other motorists who, if they hadn't been in her way she wouldn't have felt compelled to turn to avoid... Lexus, for not making the car un-set concrete capable... and for you married guys - we all know somehow this would be our fault if our wives did this! Even if we weren't in the car. (we should have gone with and drove, etc. etc.) ;-)

It is an honor to be so vilified, demeaned, and humbled by such a superior Elder Member as yourself.

Bwahahahahahaha!
Worst of all is the state of mind of any beautiful young blonde lady who ups and dyes the roots of her lovely hair black.
