I've sent it on to one of my brother-in-laws, knowing he'll like it too. I do believe Eve was an Irish strawberry blonde. Thanks for the very funny joke.

Well, you know what they say! "Everyone to their own!" A sense of humour is a very personal thing! As for taking offence, you can choose to take it or not. It is always better to choose not to, and if we can't say something positive, we are always better off saying nothing. I recently visited a blog and saw a remark that sent my blood pressure soaring. I was furious. If I'd commented, I'd at best be ignored and at worst make an enemy for life - in the blogosphere at least. I resisted the temptation to comment. Just for then. I went away and forgot about it. I promised myself I'd come back later when I felt cooler. But I get so busy with kids, husband, in-laws, my own blogs and all plus my regular blogging pals whom I visit habitually, I just forgot about it. I'm so glad I did! Elly's quite protective of her mother, I'm glad to see. My Mel is exactly the same.

(Of course they have to be funny and not just dirty). Laughter is the best medicine and, God knows, the world needs more of it. A Joke is just that - a joke. Blonds have to swallow twice, I'm sure, when they read all the 'dumb blond' jokes, but they don't take it personally and know next year it could be stupid read heads, or something. If we can't laugh at ourselves there is something missing in our psyche. Lighten up, Ursula. Just to let everyone know, I don’t find any joke offensive.
