The Deserted Island
There were four people stranded on an island, a blond, a brunette, a redhead, and a monkey. The brunette looks out, sees the mainland and estimates it to be about 15 miles away. He tries to swim across and get help, but after going 10 miles, exhausts himself, and drowns. The redhead, deciding he can't go one more minute without a cigarette, tries to swim after him. He doesn't pace himself and only makes it 5 miles out before becoming exhausted and drowning. The blond, thinking that both had made it to the mainland and not wanting to be rescued by the redhead's bitch-ass, starts to swim after them. He makes it past the 5 miles, past 10 miles, and makes it 14 miles before deciding he's too tired to continue, turns around, and swims back to the island.
The monkey ate him.
Ever notice how jokes always start in the imperfect tense and move on to the present progressive tense? Who decided that?!
