A Blonde Joke

[Maestro]

A natural blonde was getting tired of hearing all the jokes about blondes and had her hair died brunette. One day she walks in the Swiss mountains and on alp comes across a shepherd with his herd of sheep. "If I can correctly guess how many sheep you have, may I take a lamb with me?" she asks. "OK, guess", says the shepherd. "489", replies the woman. "By golly, you're right", exclaims the astonished shepherd, "chose any sheep you like". The woman takes a little animal into her arms. As she turns to walk off, the shepherd stops her and asks: "If I can guess the natural colour of your hair, may I have my dog back?"
