Marooned On A Desert Island?

[Rooo]

A retired corporate executive decided to take vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life until the boat sank! He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts!

After about four months, he was lying on the beach one day, when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks her, "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 says. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you" "Oh, this?" replies 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 the 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 forgeable, ductile iron. I used that for tools and used the

tools to make the hardware." The guy is stunned!

"Lets row over to my place," she says. After a few hours rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls out of 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, dumbstruck!

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 says, still dazed. "Can't take any more coconut juice," the woman replies. " I have a still. How about 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 a shave? There is a razor in the bathroom cabinet."

No longer questioning anything, the man goes into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet, is a razor made with a bone handle, two shells honed to 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 and flowers strategically positioned and smelling 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 a really long time. You've been lonely. There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now, something

you've been longing for all these months? "She stares into his eyes and takes his hand in hers.

He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly and tears start to form in his eyes. ". I can check my e-mails from here?"
