no...her being blonde does make it funnier because it fits the stereotype almost too well....
if she hadn't of been blonde it would've still been funny, just the fact she lives up to the often ill-fitting title of "being blonde" just adds that much to it.
just like myself being irish....and I like potatoes so damn much..people always find it funny when I will be excited to see they have potatoes, and without a doubt will be called a damn irishman.
it would still be odd and funny that im excited for a potato, but they always call me a damn irishmen and its even funnier because I fit that stereotype.
for the record tho, i've never met an irishman who didn't like potatoes.

whats the difference in saying she was a woman and saying she was a blond woman.
its gives the reader a better picture of the situation.
it could easilly read "a person came in.." and wouldve been funny nonetheless.

sorry Zgirl but it's late and I just heard this story very recently,
so a guy walks into a bar and told the bar tender "you wanna hear a blond joke?"
The bar tender says "see that big blond guy sitting next to you? see that bigger blond guy next to him? and see that really big blond guy behind you? do you really want to tell the joke?"
the guys says "on second thought, no, I wouldn't really want to explain it 3 times".

See, that's funny.

Don't you guys find the story as funny as I did? It's not about her mispronouncing the emblem, it's about her seeing it in a whole new sort of way. On a real emblem, it uses the arial-type number and the number is as clear as can be: 150. There should be no confusion for ISO. Totally different!
