There were these 2 blondes. One blonde was standing on one side of a river and one blonde was standing on the other side of the river.
One blonde yelled out loud to the other blonde standing on the other side of the river, "How do I get to the opposite side of the river?"
To which the other blonde yelled back in reply, "You are already standing on the opposite side of the river!"
