Pretty Good Jokes
A blonde tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because the car had 250,000 miles on it. One day, she told her problem to a brunette she worked with at a salon. The brunette told her, “There’s a way to make the car easier to sell, but it’s not legal.” “That doesn’t matter,” replied the blonde, “if only I can sell the car.” “Okay,” said the brunette. “Here’s the address of a friend of mine who owns a garage. Tell him I sent you and he’ll turn the counter in your car back to 50,000 miles. Then it shouldn’t be a problem to sell your car.” The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic. About a month after that, the brunette asked the blonde, “Did you sell your car?” “No,” replied the blonde, “why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it.”
