A competition for women was announced, to swim the 'English Channel', using 'Breast stroke'.
There were only three women willing to take up the challenge, a brunette, a redhead, and a blond.
They all started together, and the race was on.
After 23 hours the brunette arrived in France to be greated by the race committee, given champagne, and told she was the winner.
Two hours fifteen minutes later, the redhead arrived, and was consoled because she had not won, but was still congratulated on a marvellous effort. Champgne was provided, and she was feted by local dignitories.
Another day passed.
After a total of three days and six hours the blond arrived at the beach, and drsgged herself from the water. Some of the committee were still available to welcome her, and gave her a drink and a warm blanket.
As feeling returned to the blond she spoke to the organising committee and said:
"I don't wish to appear a bad sport, but I think the others cheated, they used their arms!"
