A blonde went to the appliance store sale and found a bargain2. "I would like to buy this TV." she told the salesman.
Sorry, we don't sell to blondes. he replied.
She hurried home and dyed3 her hair, then came back and again told the salesman. "I would like to buy this TV." "Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied.
Damn4, he recognized me. she thought.
And the TV set was really a good deal. So she went for a complete disguise5 this time, haircut and new color, new outfit6, big sunglasses, then waited a few days before she again approached7 the salesman. "I would like to buy this TV." "Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied.
Frustrated8, she exclaimed, "How do you know I'm a blonde?"
Because, he replied, "that's a microwave."
