A Tired Housewife

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter — ten men and one woman. The rope wasn’t strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one person had to leave because otherwise they were all going to fall.

They weren’t able to decide who that person should be until the woman gave a very touching speech. She said she would voluntarily let go of the rope because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband, kids and men in general. As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping!
