Fire Escape
A Brunette, a Redhead, and a Blonde escape a burning building
by climbing to the roof. Firemen are on the street below, holding
a blanket for them to jump in.
The firemen yell to the Brunette, "Jump! Jump! It's your only
chance to survive!" The Brunette jumps and SWISH! The firemen
yank the blanket away...the Brunette slams into the sidewalk
like a tomato.
"C'mon! Jump! You gotta jump!' say the firemen to the Redhead.
"Oh no! You're gonna pull the blanket away!" says the Redhead.
"No! It's Brunettes we can't stand! We're OK with Redheads!"
"OK" says the Redhead, and she jumps. SWISH! The firemen yank
the blanket away, and the lady is flattened on the pavement
like a pancake.
Finally, the Blonde steps to the edge of the roof. Again, the
firemen yell "Jump! You have to jump!"
"No way! You're just gonna pull the blanket away!" yelled the
Blonde.
"No! Really! You have to jump! We won't pull the blanket away!"
"Look," the Blonde says. "Nothing you say is gonna convince
me that you're not gonna pull the blanket away! So what I want
you to do is put the blanket down, and back away from it...."
