There was a competition to swim from Santa Monica
to Catalina doing only the breaststroke, and the
three women who entered the race were a blonde, a
brunette, and a redhead. 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 the second place
finisher. Nearly 4 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."
