The Rope

（单词翻译:单击）

 

There were 11 people hanging onto a rope that came down from a plane. Ten were blonde, and one was a brunette.

They all decided1 that one person should get off because if they didn't, the rope would break and everyone would die. No one could decide who should go, so finally the brunette said, "I'll get off."

After a really touching2 speech from the brunette about how she would get off, all of the blondes started clapping3.

Problem solved.
