I visited my sick friend and sat at the end of her water bed chatting to her. I mentioned how comfortable the bed was and she said, 'well you are sat at the deep end'. I said, 'wow, I didn't realize water beds had deep and shallow ends'!

In the moment I would have thought about your sentence as a quite smart joke.

Yes but you don't know me, she does and understands my blonde moments happen on a fairly regular basis!

It seems that what you are calling "blonde moments" are what I always knew as "brain farts".

In my old unit, we called them NDAs (nuclear dumb attacks), especially when they exhibited weapons-grade stupidity.

A few years ago, car was loaded for vacation. But there is a nagging feeling. "What did I forget?" Oh well, whatever it is, I'll just get it later. So off we go, down the road almost ready to get on the big road. Suddenly it pops in my head "Did I close the front door?". Quick turn around, back home yep there it was, my front door wide open for all to enter. Fortunatly no one had thought to stop by and "visit" just yet. The best part? My parking space faced the front of my house. Yes, I am queen of the stupids!

One day at work in the control tower, while waiting for the weather to climb to the minimums needed for our helicopters to fly, without thinking I told the eighth pilot who called me that I would "get him off" as soon as possible.

while in the army, I told a new girl in supply that I needed 500 feet of flight line for the fixing parachutes.

The next day, the supply sargent called me to tell me the female private, )not a blonde, but red head) spent over two hours going through the warehouse looking specifically for flight line.

Now the next time I dealt with her, I asked for four spools of para cord. I was told that she was not going to "fall for anymore jokes." in no uncertain terms while respecting my rank.

The supply sargent smiled and walked in back and came out with four spools of, you guessed it, para cord.

It warms the heart to see a red head blush, and get flustered.

I can't remember how many trainees fresh out of ATC school (knowing everything there is to know) who I sent in search of an approach gate key, radar paint or flight line. For some reason they would return hours later humbled and ready to learn.

Call me blonde, but I've never understood why it was called a brain fart.
If you can't get out a thought, I would think it should be called constipation of the brain.

I always thought it was because brain farts come before fully-formed thoughts...
