MAKE
IT OFF THE ISLAND
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.
