Stranded on an Island (Blonde Joke) So there is a red head, a brunette, and a blonde stranded on an island. To get to safety, they have to swim 50 miles. They finally decide they have to try. So they set off and start swimming. The brunette makes it 20 miles before she gets too tired and dies. The red head makes it 35 miles before she also gets tired and dies. But the blond, after 49 miles, gets tired, and decides to swim back to the island before she gets tied and drown like the other two.
