Eleven women were clinging precariously1 to a wildly
swinging rope suspended from a crumbling2 outcropping
on Mount Everest. Ten were blonde, one was a brunette.
As a group they decided3 that one of the party should let go.
If that didn't happen the rope would break and everyone would perish.
For an agonizing4 few moments no one volunteered.
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching5 speech saying she would
sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others.
All the blondes applauded.
