A Smart Blonde
Last year, I replaced all the
windows in my house with
those expensive double-pane
energy-efficient kind. Yester-
day I got a call from the con-
tractor who installed them. He
was complaining that the win-
dows had been installed a
whole year ago and I had never
paid for them yet.
Hellooooooooo? Now just
because I’m blonde doesn’t
mean that I am automatically
stupid. So I told him just ex-
actly what his fast-talking sales
guy had told me last year…
namely, that in just one year,
these windows would pay for
themselves!
Hellooooooooo? (I told
him.) “It’s been a year!”
There was only silence at
the other end of the line, so I
finally just hung up…
He hasn’t called back, prob-
ably too embarrassed about
forgetting the guarantee they
made me. Bet he won’t under-
estimate a blonde anymore.
