The Stranded Blondes and the Genie

Three blonde girls are on an island, and they are much too far away from land to swim. They find a genie on the island who offers them each one wish. The first girl says, "I wish I was smart enough to get off this island!" So the genie makes her a redheaded girl, she cuts down a tree, makes it into a boat, and proceeds to row off the island.

The next girl says, "I wish I was even smarter than her so I don't have to do so much manual labor!" So she turns into a brunette and makes a sailboat and lets the wind take her off the island.

The final girl says, "I wish I was smarter than both of them!" So she turns into a man and takes the bridge.

Explanation

Experiment

The joke plays on the stereotype of blondes being unintelligent. The first two girls wish for intelligence to solve the island problem, and they use a more obvious or traditionally-thought out approach. The punchline relies on the absurdity of there being a bridge, which is unexpected because it was never mentioned until the very end. The final girl's wish and transformation to a man imply that the smartest way to leave the island was just using a pre-existing structure.

Too far away from the land to swim? What?

Bruh. Blonde women can be annoying but even I know that they are not all stupid. Some redheads and brunettes are stupid. But for some reason the blondes are known as the stupid ones

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
