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...."
