11 Blondes and a brunette There are 12 people hanging onto a rope that comes down from an airplane. 11 of them are blonde, and one is a brunette. They all decide that one person should get off because if they don't, the rope will break and everyone will die. No one can decide who should go, so finally the brunette delivers a very touching speech, ending with the words, ""I'll get off."" The blondes, all moved by the brunette's speech, start clapping. Problem solved.
