How far can you Swim?
Three young ladies were stranded on an island: a
brunette, redhead and a blonde. The brunette looked across the
water towards the mainland and estimated it was roughly 20 miles
to the shore. She announced: "I'm gonna try to swim ashore."
So she swam five miles but began to get really tired. At the 10
miles from shore stage, she was utterly exhausted, unable to continue
and sadly drowned.
The redhead said to herself, "I wonder if she made it. I guess
I should try to get to the mainland or else I'll starve to death
here." So she attempts to swim ashore. Remarkably she makes it
to 10 miles fairly easily, but at 15 miles the old lactic acid
starts to kick in and the pain becomes so unbearable that she
unfortunately drowns too...
The blonde thinks to herself, "I wonder if they made it. I think
I'd better try to make it ashore too." So the blonde swims out
5 miles, reaches 10 miles, then 15 miles and finally she gets
to nineteen miles from the island with the shore just in sight
when she declares, "Phew, I'm too tired to go on!" So she turns
around and swims back...
