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, 15 miles, 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.
