Seriously? This guy needs to learn to take it. Maybe he should learn some ginger jokes. My mom used to tell me when I was a kid "If you can't beat them join them." You know how many blond jokes I have in my arsenal? Quite a few. Want to hear one? Well hear it goes:
ReplyDelete"Two blonds are driving down a country road and the driver looks out the window into a corn field and she sees two blonds in a row boat rowing. She turns to her friend in the passenger seat and says 'It's woman like that who perpetuate stereotypes' and the blond in the passenger seat says 'I know I am so furious if I had my bathing suit with me I would swim out there and tell them to knock it off."
That's an awesome joke. Also this kid says "You know everyone else gets respect black people, white people, Mexicans come on" Do they really get respect? I don't know if this guy knows this but there was this thing called the civil rights movement and before that there was another thing called the suffrage movement and before that there was slavery and before that indentured servitude. Oh and let's not forget about the Holocaust of the Spanish Inquisition. Maybe it is just your time to shine Ginger (Oh by the way one of my best friends is a ginger so I can use that word all I want.) All I am saying is that you need to learn to take things in stride or you may end up with an ulcer the size of Toledo eating away at your stomach lining. Do it for your health kid.
And that's all I have to say.
Haha wow!!!! I think he takes things wayyyyyyyy to seriously, calm down!
ReplyDeleteIf anything this is more funny. My brother is a red head and not once have
I heard him be called "ginger". Even if so he would care less! That's like
someone calling me a "dumb blonde". I don't take it offensively because it
is just a figure of speech over hair color? Really...what is the big deal.
Life goes on kid...
