Thanx LuAnn & Michelle for sharing. I can't think of any right now, but there's gotta be something.<br/><br/>Though when I was 16 and had gone to L.A., we went on this tour of the stars homes, and the driver was trying to squeeze between 2 vehicles and he hit the passenger side mirror. He didn't seem to phased, must have done it before. He was an actor (shocker) so that was his job between gigs. LOL. Thanx LuAnn & Michelle for sharing.

I loved your story. I, too, am blonde and have had my share of blonde moments. I can't think of any funny blonde moments right now, but your story did make me think of something that happened in college.<br/><br/>My freshman year, my dorm decided to travel to an away football game against our rival school. As dorm treasurer, I was responsible for arranging a bus for transportation but within a very low budget as no one wanted to pay extra or use up the entire budget. <br/><br/>Anyway, on the day of the game, the bus pulled up in front of our dorm and we all piled on. After getting on the bus, I started wondering how we were going to turn around; the street did not go through and it was narrow enough that turning around would be tough. The bus driver didn't seem worried, so I went back to chatting with my friends. All of a sudden, in the middle of a three point turn, there was a loud boom and the bus stopped (it had been backing up). I looked out the back of the bus and saw water shooting straight up into the air! We had hit and knocked down the fire hydrant! So what does our driver do? He floors it and takes off down the street *away* from the gushing water! We heard sirens and realized we were being chased by the police not long after... we hadn't even made it off campus. We eventually got to the game, but what a way to start the trip! After that I really wished we hadn't been so cheap-- you really do get what you pay for!<br/><br/>Michelle Hilarious, Luann!
