================================================================ T H E B L O N D E & T H E S H E P H E R D ================================================================ There was a blonde Essex girl who got fed up with her 'dumb' image and decided to dye her hair. She then went for a walk in the country to show off her new hairdo. On the way she met a shepherd rounding up a flock of sheep. To show that she was now quite smart, she said to the shepherd. "If I correctly guess the number of sheep in your flock, can I keep one of them?" "OK," said the farmer. Off the top of her head, she said "352". "Gosh, that's right" said the farmer. "You can choose your sheep now". She immediately went for the one that seemed most friendly and lively, and was just about to leave, when the farmer said, "Tell you what, dearie, if I can guess your original hair colour, will you let me have my sheepdog back?"
