After sitting there for a while, he called out, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?”

The bar went completely silent.

Then, a woman next to him said in a deep voice, “Before you tell that joke, cowboy, I think you should know five things:

The bartender is a blonde woman with a baseball bat.
The bouncer is a blonde woman.
I’m a 6-foot-tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
The woman beside me is a blonde professional weightlifter.
The lady to your right is a blonde professional wrestler.”
After a moment, she asked, “Now, do you still want to tell that joke?”

The cowboy thought for a second, shook his head, and said, “Nope… not if I have to explain it five times.”

2) Too Good to Be True

One day, Arnold was scrolling through Facebook and saw an ad for a black SUV. The price looked too good to be true.

“Mom!” he shouted. “Can I buy a car? I’m old enough to drive now and saw this awesome ad. Someone’s selling an SUV for just $25!”

“Oh, Arnold,” his mother sighed. “It must be a mistake. Who would sell a car for that little?”

“Can we go see it, Mom? Please?” he begged. “It’s just a few blocks away.”

“Alright,” she agreed.

The next day, Arnold and his mom went to the address. There it was—a brand new black SUV in perfect condition, with only a few hundred miles on it.

A woman came out of her house and asked, “So, you’re interested in buying the car?”

“Yes!” Arnold replied. “It’s so nice! How much is it? The ad said $25 but…”

“The price is still $25,” she said. “I can lower it if you think it’s too high.”

Arnold quickly paid and signed the papers. But his mom wanted to ask one last question.

“Why are you selling such a nice SUV for so little?” she inquired.

“Well,” the woman said, “my husband left me and ran away with his secretary. He called from Hawaii and said, ‘Sell my car and send me the money.’ So, that’s what I’m doing.”

3) The Lazy Employee

A company hired a new CEO named Richard, hoping he would improve things.
On his first day, Richard wanted to find and get rid of all the lazy workers. He left his office to walk around and saw a young man leaning against a wall.

Richard thought this was his chance to show everyone he wouldn’t tolerate laziness. He walked up to the guy and asked, “How much do you make in a week?”

“$200, sir,” the young man answered. “Why?”

Everyone in the office was now watching Richard. He pulled out his wallet and handed the guy $200.

“Here’s a week’s pay. Now get out! This place isn’t for lazy people!”

Richard felt good about firing someone. When the guy left, he turned to the others and asked, “Can anyone tell me what the slacker did here?”

Then a senior employee said, “Sir, that was the pizza delivery guy.”

4) The Big News

One day, Peter’s parents told him they wanted to discuss something very important.

“Son, we need to tell you that you’re adopted,” his father replied.

“What?” Peter was shocked.

“We wanted to wait for the right time to tell you,” his mother explained.

“I knew it! I always felt different! I want to meet my real parents!” Peter said.

“We are your real parents,” his father said. “Now pack up; your new ones are coming to get you in 20 minutes.”

They didn’t want to cut the interview short, so they asked her simple questions to fill the time.

“How old are you?” one interviewer asked.

The woman started counting on her fingers.

“27 years, sir,” she said after a minute.

The interviewers exchanged glances before the second one asked, “How tall are you?”

The woman took out a measuring tape from her bag, stood up, and measured herself.

“Five feet, three inches,” she replied.

Then the first interviewer asked, “Okay, can you just tell us your name?”

To their surprise, the woman chanted something quietly and then said, “Neha!”

One of the interviewers, unable to hold back, asked, “What took you so long to say your name?”

“I was just recalling that song,” she replied. “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Neha…”

Neighbors Installed a Camera Aimed at My Garden – I Taught Them a Savage Lesson Without Going to Court

When my new neighbors installed a camera aimed at my backyard, I knew I had to take action. What started as a simple plan to teach them a lesson about privacy spiraled into a wild performance that caught the attention of the local police — with consequences I never could have predicted.

I never thought I’d become an amateur actor just to teach my nosy neighbors a lesson, but life has a way of surprising you.

It all started when Carla and Frank moved in next door. They seemed nice enough at first, if a bit… off.

“Welcome to the neighborhood,” I said, offering them a basket of tomatoes from my garden. “I’m Zoe.”

Carla’s eyes darted around nervously. “Thank you. We’re very… security-conscious. You understand, right?”

I didn’t, but I nodded anyway. Little did I know what that would mean for me.

A week later, I returned from visiting my mom to find something shocking in my backyard. As I lounged in my swimsuit, tending to my beloved tomatoes, I noticed a small black object under the eaves of their house.

“Is that a camera?” I muttered, squinting at it. My blood ran cold as I realized it was pointed directly at my yard.

I marched over to their house, still in my swimsuit, and pounded on the door. Frank answered, looking annoyed.

“Why is there a camera pointed at my yard?” I demanded.

“That’s ridiculous,” I sputtered. “You’re invading my privacy!”

Carla appeared behind him. “We have a right to protect our property,” she said coldly.

I left, fuming. I could have taken them to court, but who has the time or money for that? No, I needed a different approach.

That’s when I called my friends.

“Samantha, I need your help,” I said. “How do you feel about a little… performance art?”

She laughed. “I’m intrigued. Tell me more.”

I outlined my plan, and soon we had a whole crew on board. Miguel, our resident special effects guru, and Harriet, who never met a costume she didn’t like.

As we planned, I wondered if I was going too far. “Guys, are we sure about this?” I asked during our final meeting.

Samantha put her hand on my shoulder. “Zoe, they’ve been spying on you for weeks. They need to learn a lesson.”

Miguel nodded. “Plus, it’ll be fun! When was the last time we did something this crazy?”

Harriet grinned. “I’ve already started on the costumes. You can’t back out now!”

Their enthusiasm was contagious, and I felt my doubts melting away. “Alright, let’s do this.”

The next Saturday, we gathered in my backyard, decked out in the most ridiculous outfits imaginable. I wore a neon green wig and a tutu over a scuba suit.

“Ready for the garden party of the century?” I grinned.

Samantha adjusted her alien mask. “Let’s give those creeps a show they’ll never forget.”

We started with normal party activities — if you can call anything normal when you’re dressed like escapees from a circus. We danced, played games, and made sure to stay in view of the camera.

“Hey, Zoe!” Miguel called out, his pirate hat askew. “How’s your mom doing?”

I smiled, remembering my recent visit. “She’s good. Still trying to set me up with her friend’s son.”

Harriet laughed, her Red Riding Hood cape swishing. “Classic mom move. Did you tell her about the camera situation?”

I shook my head. “Nah, didn’t want to worry her. She’d probably march over here herself and give them a piece of her mind.”

“Honestly,” Samantha chimed in, “that might have been entertaining to watch.”

We all laughed, imagining my feisty mom confronting Carla and Frank. But then it was time for the main event.

“Oh no!” I shrieked, pointing at Samantha. “She’s been stabbed!”

Miguel swiftly brandished a rubber knife covered in ketchup. “Arrr, she had it coming!”

Samantha collapsed dramatically, ketchup “blood” pooling around her. We all started arguing and running around in panic.

“Should we call the police?” Harriet yelled, cape flapping as she hopped around.

“No, we have to hide the body!” I shouted back.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine. The neighbor’s curtain twitched. Had someone seen us? The eerie silence that followed was broken only by our ragged breathing.

We froze, eyes darting from one to another. The weight of our imaginary crime felt all too real in that moment. A dog barked in the distance, making us all jump.

Time seemed to stretch, each second an eternity as we waited, unsure of what would happen next.

Miguel’s hand trembled as he lowered the ketchup-stained knife. Samantha, still sprawled on the ground, barely dared to breathe. The air grew thick with tension, pressing down on us like a physical force.

I tried to swallow, but my mouth had gone dry. My mind raced, conjuring up ridiculous scenarios of how we’d explain this scene to anyone who might have witnessed it. Would they believe it was just a game? Or would our silly prank spiral into something far more serious?

A car door slammed somewhere down the street. We all flinched in unison, our nerves stretched to the breaking point. The sound of footsteps seemed to echo in the stillness, growing louder with each passing moment. Had someone called the authorities?

Just then, we heard sirens in the distance. “Showtime,” I whispered. “Everyone inside, quick!”

We dragged Samantha in, cleaned up the ketchup, and changed into normal clothes in record time. By the time the police knocked on my door, we were sitting around the dining table, looking perfectly innocent.

“Is everything alright here?” the officer asked, looking confused.

I put on my best concerned-citizen face. “Of course, officer. Is something wrong?”

She explained that they received a report of a violent crime at this address. I feigned shock, then allowed “realization” to dawn on my face.

“Oh! We were just doing some improv acting in the backyard,” I said. “It must have looked pretty realistic, huh?”

The officer frowned. “How did anyone see into your backyard? Those fences are pretty high.”

I sighed dramatically. “Well, officer, that’s the real problem here. My neighbors have a camera pointed at my yard. They’ve been recording me without my consent.”

Her eyebrows shot up. “Is that so? I think we need to have a chat with your neighbors.”

We watched from my window as the police went next door. Carla and Frank looked panicked as they were questioned.

An hour later, the officer returned. “Ma’am, I’m afraid your neighbors have been engaging in some illegal surveillance. We’ve confiscated their equipment and they’ll be facing charges. Would you be willing to make a statement?”

I tried to look surprised. “That’s terrible! I had no idea it was so extensive. But, of course, I’ll make a statement, and testify in court if it comes to that.”

After the police left, my friends and I celebrated our victory.

“I can’t believe it worked!” Samantha laughed.

Miguel raised his glass. “To Zoe, master of revenge!”

I grinned, but something was nagging at me. “Do you think we went too far?”

Harriet shook her head. “They invaded your privacy. They got what they deserved.”

The next day, I was back in my garden, enjoying the sunshine without worrying about prying eyes. As I tended to my tomatoes, I saw Carla and Frank leaving their house, suitcases in hand.

Part of me felt guilty, but then I remembered all those recordings they had of me. No, they’d made their choice. I just helped them face the consequences.

As I picked a ripe tomato, I smiled to myself. Sometimes, the best way to deal with nosy neighbors isn’t through the courts — it’s through a little creative problem-solving.

And hey, if nothing else, at least I now know I have a future in community theater if gardening doesn’t work out.

A week later, I was having coffee with Samantha when she asked, “So, any news about Carla and Frank?”

I shook my head. “Not really. I saw them leave, and I haven’t heard from the cops yet. Maybe they decided not to press charges after all. Can’t say I miss them, though.”

Samantha smirked. “I bet they’d think twice before setting up cameras now.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, then paused. “You know, part of me wonders if we should feel bad. We did kinda turn their lives upside down.”

Samantha raised an eyebrow. “Zoe, they were the ones breaking the law. All we did was expose them.”

I nodded, but the guilt lingered. “I know, I know. It’s just… I keep thinking about how scared they looked when the police showed up.”

“Hey,” Samantha said, leaning forward, “remember how violated you felt when you saw that camera? How angry you were? They did that to you for weeks.”

I sighed. “You’re right. I guess I’m just not used to being the ‘bad guy’.”

She laughed. “Trust me, you’re not the bad guy here. You’re the hero who stood up for herself.”

Later that day, as I watered my tomatoes, I saw a moving truck pull up to Carla and Frank’s house. A young couple got out, looking excited.

I watched as they unloaded boxes, chatting and laughing. Part of me wanted to go over and introduce myself, maybe warn them about the previous owners. But another part of me just wanted to move on.

As I turned back to my garden, I made a decision. I’d give these new neighbors a chance — no preconceptions, no suspicions. But I’d also keep my eyes open. After all, you never know when you might need to throw another garden party.

What would you have done? If you enjoyed this story, here’s another one for you about a woman whose new neighbor was secretly monitoring her until she faced him one day on a lonely road.
