^^^^^^
Now *there's* an ambiguous comment if ever I saw one !
Is that *fairer* in the conventional sense of the word in this context,
*fairer* in
the context of *most even-handed*. These are *not* the same !
By describing the speaker as *blonde* you have dealt with the third potential
ambiguity <g>
