Anecdote

Friends are the ones you can count on. Whether they're making you laugh or simply listening to what you have to say, they're always there.

Once, a certain friend of mine truly made my day. We were at a back-to-school dance, enjoying ourselves (as much as you really can at a school dance).  Sixth and seventh graders are running around, doing all sorts of childish things. We would dance, relax for a second, maybe grab a soda, and continue dancing. All sorts of music popular among us "tweens" was playing in the background. There were teachers and chaperones monitoring everything and making sure it's all "appropriate."

So my friend is doing all sorts of different dance moves.  While doing so, she starts moving towards this one chaperone without knowing it.  Her back was facing this large, tall man.  Eventually, her back side comes in contact with him.  Both of them realized at about the same time. The expression of initial shock on their faces was priceless. Her face quickly grew red with embarrassment.  Then, she apologized hastily and returned to our group. I was too busy cracking up to really comfort her at the moment.  However, being the good sport that she is, she too, was able to laugh it off.

Every now and then, I'll mention it to her and she either laugh or get embarrassed. Overall, my friend learned that you should make sure you have plenty of room to dance and that you should always be conscious of the direction you're moving when you "boogie down."

Joke

No offense to blondes. This obviously isn't true. It's a stereotype:

An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight.

The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?"

The stewardess replied: "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"

This joke is fairly self-explanatory,  Usually when staying at a hotel, room service leaves a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the inside of the door and you can put it on the outside if you want.  Therefore, when the blonde sees the sign on the inside of the door, she thinks someone is telling her to not use that door.  She tries the bathroom door and the closet door, but doesn't check the one door that leads out of the room.  Therefore, she thinks she is trapped in her room.
