"I would like to buy this TV,'' she told the salesman.

''Sorry, we don't sell to blondes,'' he replied. She hurried home, dyed her hair, came back again and told thesalesman, ''I would like to buy this TV.''

''Sorry, we don't sell to blondes,'' he replied. ''Darn, he recognized me,'' she thought.

She went home again and put on a complete disguise this time. A new haircut and newcolor, a new outfit, and big sunglasses. Then she waited a few days before she again approached the salesman.

''I would like to buy this TV,'' she told the salesman.

''Sorry we don't sell to blondes,'' he replied. Frustrated, she asked, ''How do you know I'm a blonde?''

''Because this is a microwave,'' he replied.
