Blondes and Communicating

Blondes and communicating.  A very interesting topic.  

For instance, one night my friend, D and I decided to meet for dinner and drinks.  We decided on a nice restaurant, the time was 5pm.  Oh, did I mention she is a brunette?

I get there and sit at the bar, order a glass of chardonnay and begin to read the newspaper that was lying on the counter.  Time gets away and I look at my watch, 20 minutes has now gone by!  "That's strange," I think to myself, because her and I are very punctual people.  We both had high stress, fast- paced careers and were used to being very prompt for any meeting, anywhere.  I waited a few more minutes thinking maybe rush hour was holding her up.  But no phone call either!?  

Alas, I called her.  Maybe I got the name of the restaurant wrong, or the time wrong.  Anyway, she answers her phone.  "Where are you?", I ask.  "I'm here", she replied.  "Where?", I ask.   D. mentions the name and we are at the same restaurant!  She had been sitting at a table waiting for me!  Now, I ask you.  Who got the directions correct?  Well, being a blonde, I just assumed it was me!  

I look around and there at this table she was waving at me!  Duh!  We had a good laugh!
