A guy, having split from his latest girlfriend, decided to take a vacation.
He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of
his life, that is, until the ship sank. He found himself on
an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and
coconuts. After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the
most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he
asks,
"Where did you come from? How did you get here?"
She replies,
"I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed here when my cruise
ship sank."
"Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with
you."
"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. "I made the boat out of raw material I
found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove
the bottom from palm branches, and the sides and
stern came from a Eucalyptus tree."
"But, where did you get the tools?"
"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On the southside of the
island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found if I
fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into
ductile iron. I used that for tools and used the tools to make the
hardware."
The guy is stunned.
"Let's row over to my place," she says.
After a few minutes of rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf.As the
man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a stone walk
leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and
white.While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp
rope,the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the
house,she says casually,
"It's not much but I call it home. Sit down, please.Would you like a
?"
"No! No thank you," he blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop
of coconut juice."
"It's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still.How would you
like a Pina Colada?"
Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down
on her couch to talk. After they have exchanged their stories, the woman
announces,
"I'm going to slip into something more comfortable.Would you like to take a
shower and shave? There is a razor upstairs in the bathroom cabinet."
No longer questioning anything, the man goes into the bathroom.There, in the
cabinet, a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone.Two shells honed to a
hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside
a swivel mechanism.
"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What next?"
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but vines,strategically
positioned, and smelling faintly of gardenias. She beckons for him to sit
down next to her.
"Tell me," she begins suggestively,slithering closer to him,
"We've been out here for many months. You've been lonely. There's something
I'm sure you really feel like doing right now, something you've been longing
for?"
She stares into his eyes .
He can't believe what he's hearing.
"You mean...", he swallows excitedly and tears start to form in his eyes,
"...don't tell me you've got Sky Sports as well?"
