Blondes, Red Heads, and Brunettes

So the other day as I was riding home from work with one of my best buds, Kayla, we came to a stop light that was quite clearly RED. Next to us was a red car with three passengers and a blond driver. As the light for the oncoming traffic turned yellow, blondie next to us decided she was going to get a head start on moving through the intersection. When her car was about a third of the way through the intersection she realized that our light had not turned green (it was letting the left hand turners go first). Kayla and I commented on how annoying and inconsiderate it was for her to do such a thing. However, once we were on the move again we didn't really think about it.

Until the blond struck again...

Once blondie had crossed the intersection she moved to the far right lane. As we approached the next light blondie moved all the way over to the far left lane. And then, practically at the last second, blondie hurried over to the far right once more and barely made it onto the freeway on-ramp she was targeting.

Kayla and I were astounded. I commented that she was part of the reason why people think blonds are dumb (after all, Kayla is a blond and while she may have her "duh" moments, she's really quite smart). I wondered aloud what it was that started the whole "dumb blond" thing. I joked, saying that some brunette got burned by a guy and he left her for a blond. We entertained the idea for a moment, stating that the whole "dumb blond" theory was really just a revenge rumor, the repercussions of a woman's wrath.

We then proceeded to talk about how red heads are viewed as having hot tempers, and blonds are viewed as dumb, while brunettes really have nothing. Any comment about a brunette's intelligence is normally in correlation with one of the other two.

"Wow," Kayla said. "Brunettes are jerks!"

"We totally are!" I exclaimed, trying to hold in the laughter erupting from my mouth. "I almost feel ashamed to be a brunette."

"Yeah, I mean even people with black hair have something. You know, black hair, pale skin, people think that's beautiful."

And then it hit me. It wasn't the brunettes fault at all. It was the black hair pale skinned ones! I voiced my revelation to Kayla, explaining that while blonds and red heads had negative connotations to them, black hair and pale skin had a POSITIVE one! And since brunettes have nothing associated with him, it only SEEMED they were the culprits, but really the BHPS FRAMED THEM!!!

We laughed for the longest time.

I have nothing against blond, brunette, black hair pale skinned, or red headed people. You are all beautiful and wonderful people with the potential to do great things. This discussion was merely the result of a long day at work + those involved - our crazy filter.
