I'm rereading Peter Bowen's murder series. The detective is Gabriel Dupre, a Metis Indian in Montana. He's both a stock inspector and a fiddle player.
One of recurring bit characters is another musician who is a bit of a pothead and is accompanied by a series of seemingly interchangable "Burlap Blonds".
I Googled "Burlap Blond" and found many variations of this joke:
Quote:A blond, a brunette and a redhead escape from jail and decide to hide in a barn. As they hear the police closing in, they climb into the loft and hide in three empty burlap feed bags. A young officer climbed into the loft, shined his flashlight around, and decided to check the burlap bags. He kicked the first bag containing the brunette, and she responded with a convincing "woof woof". He kicked the second bag with the redhead inside, and she let out a perfect cat's meow. "Nothing up here but cats and dogs," the officer responded to his superior. Deciding to be sure, he kicked the last bag, the one containing the blonde. She yelled out "potatoes!!!"
Bowen uses language with precision and I feel that there must be a bit more to the term "Burlap Blond" than a rather shopworn joke.
Can anyone help?
