I don’t usually link to blonde jokes. But this one is too good to pass on. Possibly the best blonde joke ever.

The Jewess, by luckyfatima

“Your name is Justine Shah-pee-ro? Where are you from?” Dr. Usha wasn’t sure how to say Justine’s surname.

“I’m American.”

“Aah, yes.” Dr. Usha noticed that it was written on the front label of her chart. “But you look like an Indian.” Dr. Usha leaned towards Justine to get a closer look at her face.

Justine was used to this. Everyone always had something to say about how she looked and where she was from. A Syrian, an Indian, an Iranian. She had heard it all.

“If you are an American then why are you wearing those clothes?” Dr. Usha drew a circle in the air around her face with her finger to indicate that she meant Justine’s shayla and abaya.

“I’m a Muslim.” …

…“I’m an American. Americans look many different ways.”

Justine wished she could just tell Dr. Usha her family was Jewish, but she had learned the hard way not to divulge that here. Not even to Hindus and Christians.

God, I Really Don’t Ask For Much…

My friend Gina (the one in the Halloween picture) is in the hospital. She went to the doctor because she had pneumonia. They did a chest x-ray, and then a CT scan. The doctors think that they found a tumor. She’s having a biopsy tomorrow. I spent the evening with her. She seemed real upbeat. The nurse-in-me detached myself from the different possibilities of the test results (it can be any multitude of things), but usually the doctors instinct is in the right direction. She must be going out of her mind. I hope that what ever it is, and can be taken care of. And if it’s what I think it is…I hope they caught it early enough.

Blazing mouse sets fire to house

Posted in Uncategorized at 7:02 pm by Kristen

A US man threw a mouse he had found in his home onto a pile of burning leaves – only to see it run away and burn his house down. Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner, New Mexico, found a mouse in his home and wanted to get rid of it. “I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house,” he said. Though no one was injured, the house and everything in it was destroyed. “I’ve seen numerous house fires, but nothing as unique as this one,” Fire Department Captain Jim Lyssy said.

New Mexico has seen several major blazes after unseasonably dry and windy conditions which have destroyed 10 homes and devastated more than 53,000 acres (21,200 hectares) of land.
