Best blonde joke causes traffic jam

January 28, 2006 By

When I linked to the “best blonde joke ever” I never expected it to become one of the biggest traffic generators I’d ever seen. Yesterday alone 4,713 people visited here because of the joke and the traffic hasn’t seemed to go down.

It got so heavy that Shelley Powers broke the original joke (it used to go on for seemingly forever through blog after blog). Her servers were just seeing an exponentially increasing load so she did something even funnier. She turned the link back to me. So, now I became the joke and it was quite circular. You could count your “blondeness” by how many times you clicked around the circle before you figured it out.

Anyway, here’s a blog that explains a little bit about how the joke evolved.

    Similarly I followed oh so many links and still haven’t read the joke. This is my biggest pet-hate of the blogging world. Linky Linky Linky. It’s not worth posting if you can’t link somewhere else it seems. Just like a computer with no real information setting up flags pointing to stuff, this blog is becoming similar.
    Now you post a link to how the joke came about?
    How about posting the joke.
