Wheat field

This blonde is driving down an old country road when she spots another blonde in a wheat field rowing a boat.

She pulls over to the side of the road and stops the car. Staring in disbelief, she stands at the side of the road to watch the woman for a while.

When she can’t stand it any more, she calls out to the blonde in the field,
‘Why are you rowing a boat in the middle of the field?’

The blonde in the field stops rowing and responds, ‘Because it is an ocean of wheat.’

The blonde standing at the side of the road is furious. She yells at the blonde in the field,

‘It is dumb blondes like you that give the rest of us a bad name.’

The blonde in the field just shrugs her shoulders and begins rowing again.

The blonde on the side of the road is beside herself and shakes her fist at the blonde in the field yelling,
‘If I could swim, I would come out there and kick your arse.’
