Blondes

As the (brown-haired) husband of one (natural) blonde and the father of another, I am happy to note that, while leaving aside whether blondes do indeed enjoy a greater number of recreational and amusement activities, scientists have tentatively determined that blondes are mutants. I knew this intuitively.

Sadly, though, a different set of spoil-sport scientists claims that "natural blonds are likely to be extinct within 200 years because there are too few people carrying the blond gene... The last natural blond is likely to be born in Finland during 2202." The lesson, I guess, is to make some long-term investments in Clairol.
