The blonde was driving during a snowstorm when she got lost.
Instead of panicking, she remembered her father’s advice: “If you ever get caught in a snowstorm, wait for the snowplow and follow it.”
Not long after, a snowplow appeared, so she started following it. She carefully stayed behind the plow for about 45 minutes, going through difficult conditions.
Finally, the snow plow driver stopped, got out, and asked why he was following him.
She explained that her father told her to follow the snowplow if she ever got stuck in a snowstorm.
The driver nodded and said: “Okay, but now that I’m done cleaning up the Wal-Mart parking lot, do you want to follow me to Best Buy?”
The story points to the humorous misunderstandings that can arise from taking advice too literally.
While the blonde’s father probably intended for her to follow the snowplow to the safety of the snowy roads, her interpretation led her to unwittingly follow the plow that was clearing the parking lot. Her persistence in such harsh weather conditions demonstrates ingenuity, but the context of her actions adds an element of lighthearted comedy.
This story also serves as a reminder of the importance of clarity in communication. Her father’s well-intentioned guidance lacked specifics, leading to an unintended result. It’s a playful anecdote that underscores the value of applying critical thinking to advice and understanding the context in which it is given. Ultimately, the joke lies in the irony of the situation and the good-natured response of the snowplow driver who, instead of scolding her, simply continued his work.
