There was a competition
to cross the English Channel doing only the breaststroke. Just three women
entered the race: a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde.
After approximately 14 hours the brunette staggered up on the shore and was
declared the fastest breaststroker.
About 40 minutes later the redhead crawled up on the shore and was declared to
be the second place finisher.
Nearly 48 hours after that, the blonde finally came ashore and promptly
collapsed in front of the worried onlookers.
When the reporters asked why it took her so long to complete the race, she
replied, "I don't want to sound like I'm a sore loser, but I think those
two other girls were using their arms."
