Blonde Joke

Q: How can you tell a blonde model is having a bad day?

A: She's got a tampon behind her ear and she can't find her pencil.



Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Gisele Bundchen wants to remain the world's richest model and is insisting that she be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar.

Like billionaire investors Warren Buffett and Bill Gross, the Brazilian supermodel, who Forbes magazine says earns more than anyone in her industry, is at the top of a growing list of rich people who have concluded that the currency can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means.


My first thought is the same as yours.  WGAF what some coke snorting (don't they all?) blonde bimbo model thinks about anything?   I don't have the answer, but it smacks of  that "Horry Fluck! The Japs are buying America" scare used by Ross Perot when he challenged  Bush 41 in 1992.  Yeah, the Japanese were buying up America, paying double and triple the value for things like a stake in the Seattle Mariners and Manhattan real estate.  Taken to the cleaners is what was going on, but Perot used it to manipulate the manipulable.  My guess is that some of that is going on here.  A tipoff comes with this gratuitous slap ..

"... a growing list of rich people who have concluded that the currency can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means."

WTF does that mean?  Led by President George W. Bush? 

Blow me Bloomberg.

This one turned out to be non-sense.

Some Anti-American newsie in Brazil just made the whole thing up.

The model in question likes being paid in any currency.

Yeah. Gisele's manager is calling BS on the "not taking dollars" report.

From an old "Fusco Brothers" comic:

Q: Do you take checks?
A: Of course. We take Czechs, Slovaks, Bulgarians. Even people from the breakaway Russian states. Anyone with cash is welcome

On an invitation from "Hunters & Frankau" to "The Cigar Smokers Club", she is seen hard at work attempting to light up a fine Tampax Tampon.

Which begs the question - why was Bloomberg's in such a hurry to print this tripe?

The only thing about this devaluing currency that has any silver lining is the potential to revive American industry.

On balance it is going to cause far more pain than gain tho, I think.
