A retired corporate executive, now a widower, 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 south side 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 drink?"
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>"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 built a Golf Course?
"
