There were
three people stranded on an island, a
brunette, a redhead, and a blonde. The
brunette looked over the water to the
mainland and estimated about 20 miles to
shore. So she announced, "I'm going to
try to swim to shore." So she swam out
five miles, and got really tired. She
swam out ten miles from the island, and
she was too tired to go on, so she
drowned.
The second one, 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." So
she attempts to swim out. The redhead
had a lot more endurance than the
brunette, as she swam out 10 miles
before she even got tired. After 15
miles, she was too tired to go on, so
she drowned.
So the blonde thought to herself, "I
wonder if they made it! I think I'd
better try to make it, too." So she swam
out 5 miles, ten miles, fifteen miles,
and finally nineteen miles from the
island. The shore was just in sight, but
she said, "I'm too tired to go on!" So
she swam back.
