In this case, it's a crude reference to the female vulva. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee.

Could you narrate me your joke about that old blonde ?

Soul, it's not an "[old blonde] joke", it's an "old [blonde joke]".

In other words, it's not a joke about an old blondinka, but an old joke about a blondinka.

I hate "blonde jokes" by the way, because my niece has naturally white hair and is a physic and math wiz.

The jokes that we now call "blonde jokes" used to be about black or Polish people, or Italians or Mexicans or Finns, depending where you lived. However, at some point it became politically incorrect to tell jokes in which a non-Anglo-Saxon does something stupid, so they had to put someone else in the jokes. The only people in America who you can still humiliate in public are Catholics and whites, so they just took the whitest white people and made them the stupid character in the jokes.

If you watch American TV shows or advertisements, and they show a "smart" consumer and a "foolish" consumer, either both of them have to be of the same race, or the "smart" one has to be black or a woman, and the "foolish" one has to be white and/or a man. If they don't do it this way, the TV stations and sponsors will be deluged with complaints.

One black actor has even written that racial sensitivities limit the number and types of parts that black actors can get on TV and in the movies. He claims that studios and directors are afraid to give a black actor a role as a buffoon -- even if he wants it -- because there will be a lot of trouble from angry political activists and others. You'll notice that in TV shows and movies that have blacks playing foolish characters, almost the whole cast is black. A black actor will never be cast as a buffoon if he is the only black character in the show.
