Three Women Stranded On An Island
There were three Women stranded on an island, a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde. The brunette
looked over the water to the mainland and estimated that it was about 20 miles to shore. So she
announced, “I’m going to try to swim to shore.” She swam out five miles, and got really tired.
She swam out ten miles from the island, and was too tired to go on, so she drowned. The redhead,
said to herself, “I wonder if she made it.” I guess it’s better to try to get to the mainland
than stay here and starve.” She attempts to swim out. The redhead had a lot more endurance than
the brunette. She swam out 10 miles before she even got tired. After 15 miles, she was too tired to
go on, so she drowned. The blonde thought to herself, “I wonder if they made it!” “I think
I’d better try to make it, too.” She swam out 5 miles, ten miles, 15 miles, nineteen miles from
the island. The shore was just in sight, just 100 yards to go, but she said, “I’m too tired to
go on!” So she swam back.
