Q: What did the blonde put behind her ears to attract men?
A: Her ankles.

Blond jokes like this are set to be banned in Hungary after blonde women staged an angry protest outside parliament. The protesters handed in a petition claiming they were being descriminated against in every walk of life by bad taste blonde jokes.

"Blondes face discrimination in the job market, in the workplace when they get a job, and even on the streets. People are banned from discriminating against Jews, or blacks, so why not grant blondes the same protection," said spokesperson Zsuzsa Kovacs. (zsuzsa hehe)

The petition was handed to Equal Opportunities Minister Kinga Goncz, asking her to investigate whether jokes about blondes fall into the same category as religious discrimination.

The petition was just short of the 100,000 needed to force parliament to debate the matter but Goncz's deputy pledged the government would act to stop any discrimination.

Blondes -- real and bleached -- protested outside the ministry waving banners with slogans like "We're blonde, not stupid" and "Love us for our minds."

Those fabulous Hungarians, Zsa Zsa, Eva and Magda Gabor, would be appalled, dah-ling.
