<P class=MsoBodyText>A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day<SPAN

four exuberant<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>blondes. They come
up to the bar, order five bottles of champagne and ten glasses, take their order
over and sit down at a large table. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">The
corks are popped, the glasses are filled and they begin toasting and chanting,
"51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" Soon, three more blondes arrive, take up their
drinks and the chanting grows. "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

the while chanting "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

bartender can't contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table.
There in the center is a beautifully framed child's puzzle of the Cookie<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Monster. When the frenzy dies down
a little bit, the bartender asks one of the blondes, "What's all the chanting
and celebration about?" The blonde who brought in the picture pipes up,
"Everyone thinks that blondes are dumb and they make fun of us, so we decided to
set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought that puzzle and put it
together. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
