The fight I had with my wife last night was my fault. When
she asked me what was on the TV, I said dust.
What do you call a sheep with no legs?
A cloud.

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer (also a blonde).
The policewoman asked to see the blonde’s driver’s license.
She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. “What does it look like?” she finally asked.
The policewoman replied, “It’s square and it has your picture on it.”
The driver finally found a square mirror, looked at it, and handed it to the policewoman. “Here it is,” she said.
The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, “Okay, you can go. I didn’t realize you were a police officer.”

Okay - this is my real 2000th post (since the number changes everytime you do post). Pink's sheep joke prompts the only joke I know. I didn't post it before because its NOT dirty but a bit off... Since this is my dedication thread, I'm posting the only joke I know
Q: What does an elephant use for a tampon?
A: A sheep

A blond went with her date to a seafood restuarant.
She was intrigued by the lobster aquarium and asked the waiter why they were there.
"People pick the one they like and the cooks drop them into a pot of boiling water to cook." replied the waiter.
"OH NO!", exclaimed the blonde, aghast at the thought.
A few moments later, the blond picked up her large purse and excused herself to go the the restroom.
Sneaking up to the lobster tank, she placed each one in her large purse, then slipped out the front door.
The blond proudly went into the woods and set the lobsters free!

A police officer walks up to an overturned car in the middle of the desert. A blond is standing next to the car fixing her lipstick and using makeup to hide d some minor scrapes and bruises.
The officer asks the blond what happened. The blond replied, "It was frightening, I was driving down the road and this tree came out of nowhere right into my lane, I swerved to the left but the tree was soon right in front of me again, so I swerved to the right, and pretty soon the tree was right back in front of me, so finally, I swerved real hard to the left and my car rolled over."
The officer looked at the lady, shook his head and said, "Ma'am, your in the middle of the desert, there are no trees, that was your air freshener."
