Today in my Thai class, we were talking about proper manners in Thailand, like not touching strangers' heads and how to greet someone appropriately. We quickly downgraded to jokes, ending up with my teacher asking me why there are so many blonde jokes. I told her I didn't know but maybe it had something to do with Barbie? Then, she proceeded to tell me the following joke, looking very amused with herself:
Noi: "You know the story about the girl with red hair, the girl with brown hair, and the girl with blonde hair?"
Me: "No..."
Noi: "(giggling) One time the girl with red hair, the girl with brown hair, and the girl with blonde hair did something really bad, really really bad"
Me: "Ok..."
Noi: "So they were given to (hand motions of firing squad) because they did something so bad."
Me: "Really?"
Noi: "Really! So the soldiers are about to (firing squad hand motions) when the girl with red hair shouts, 'Storm!'"
Me: "She shouts, 'storm'?"
Noi: "Yes, and then she runs away! Then the (firing squad hand motions) is about to kill the girl with the brown hair and she shouts, 'earthquake!' and runs away!"
Noi: "You know the story about the girl with red hair, the girl with brown hair, and the girl with blonde hair?"
Me: "No..."
Noi: "(giggling) One time the girl with red hair, the girl with brown hair, and the girl with blonde hair did something really bad, really really bad"

Noi: "Yes, and then she runs away! Then the (firing squad hand motions) is about to kill the girl with the brown hair and she shouts, 'earthquake!' and runs away!"
(pregnant pause)
Noi: "And then the (firing squad hand motions) are about to kill the girl with blonde hair and she shouts, 'FIRE!' and then they FIRE and she dies!"(Noi laughing hysterically!)
