Blonde jokes? Not this season
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 12/3/5 | C.W. Nevius

Did you hear the latest dumb blonde joke?

You didn't? Good. Maybe this new California law is working.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed AB1825, the workplace harassment bill, in September 2004. The law requires California companies "who employ 50 or more persons to provide all California-based supervisors with two hours of sexual harassment training every two years.''

(The irony that Schwarzenegger experienced his own allegations of improper behavior before he was elected only reinforces the point that it can happen at any level.)

But if the bill was signed over a year ago, why bring it up now? Two reasons. The deadline for compliance is midnight Dec. 31, and companies are scrambling to get training done in the next few weeks. And we are approaching the Super Bowl of sexual harassment in the workplace -- the Christmas party.

"Holiday party,'' corrects Lee Bernstein, founder of PeoplePlus,

Never compliment a female co-worker if you want to keep your job - and an office romance is off limits.

Good! More companies wasting time complying with endless govt requirements for workplace PC. Productivity should skyrocket!

Here's an idea. Let's outsource these dumb ass PC requirements to India or China. Every US employee could have a designated partner who would take the training.

Did you hear about the blonde who was SOOOOOOO proud of working a jigsaw puzzle in only six months?

She pointed to the box, which said "18 months - 3 years".

Oh man... My boss is a young blonde and I just told her that she was looking really hot... man, I hope I don't get fired!

It just that she was sweating... She had a turtle neck and the heater seemed to be running high... And I said "Wow, you are looking HOT today!"

I was wondering why she gave me that funny look and then proceeded to walk over to the HR department.

Hmmmm.....

You didn't? Good.

You're not interjecting any personal opinions into news reports, are you?

Didn't think so.

The fact that allegations occurred reinforces nothing except that there are lots of allegators around.

What do you call a blonde lost in a snowstorm?

A snowflake? ;)

Couldn't resist!

Merry Christmas!

Gad my BS detector is getting a workout today. Excuse me, are we now supposed to think that those sketchy allegations made during the campaign were not 20 years old but were describing behaviors that had just taken place?

God am I glad my working years were before this nonsense.

It used to be called flirting.

You're in luck, lad. Being a blonde, she probably went to the HR department to inform them that she didn't realize she was running a high fever and went directly to the elevator in order to bring it down.

Or the blonde that was driving down to Disney World, and saw the sign that said, Disney World Left.

She turned around and went home!

Merry Christmas!

true story..several years ago there was a black female who worked in the same office I did with 698 other employees..every time you turned around, she would file a complaint about someone and something they said/did so people found themselves in HR getting a good talking to..people decided to completely avoid her and not have anything to do with her for fear of innocently saying something she didn't like..so, she decided to file a complaint of discrimination because none of the white people wanted anything to do with her...she's also the one that complained there was no seperate "Kwanzaa Party" for black employees..couldn't win for losin with that one..

Two blondes sitting on a bench. First blonde asks the second, "What is farther, Florida or the moon?"

Second blonde replies, "Hellooooo. Can you see Florida?!"

My wife, whom I met in 1968, who grew up in MN, is a natural blonde.

She was a math/chemistry/computer science kinda gal; has a tremendous sense of humor. We have been trying to accumulate enough "Dumb Blonde Jokes" for years.

Anyone who can send us to a site, that would be great.

Cheers.
