The Oxymoron

A joke worthy of reprint.

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double-pane energy-efficient kind.

Yesterday, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was
complaining that the windows had been installed a whole year ago and I hadn't paid for them yet.

Now just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So I told him just exactly what his fast-talking sales guy had told ME last year ... namely, that in just ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

'Helllooooo,' I told him , 'It's been a year !!! '

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He hasn't called back, probably too embarrassed about forgetting the guarantee they made. Bet he won't underestimate my intelligence again.

  1. A flying saucer landed at a gas station on a lonely country road. The two space aliens inside seemed completely unconcerned about detection; in fact, the letters "UFO" were emblazoned in big, bold letters on one side of their shiny craft.
    As the station owner stood and gawked in silence, paralyzed with shock, his young blonde attendant nonchalantly filled up the tank and waved to the two aliens as they took off.
    "Do you realize what just happened?" the station owner finally uttered.
    "Yeah," said the blonde attendant. "So?"
    "Didn't you see the space aliens in that vehicle?!"
    "Yeah," repeated the blonde attendant. "So?"
    "Didn't you see the letters 'UFO' on the side of that vehicle?!"
    "Yeah," repeated the blonde attendant. "So?"
    "Don't you know what 'UFO' means?!"
    The blonde attendant rolled her eyes. "Good grief, boss! I've been working here for six years. Of course I know what 'UFO' means-- 'Unleaded Fuel Only.'"
