Deserted Island

One day a man decided to retire, so he booked

himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time

of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon 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 over from the other side of

the island where I landed 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 some raw material I

found on the island The oars were whittled from gum tree

branches I wove the bottom from palm tree 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 that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my

kiln, it melted into ductile iron I used that to make tools

and used the tools to make the hardware.” The guy is

stunned.”Let's row over to my place,” she says. So,

after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a

small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off

the boat Before him is a long stone walk leading to an cabin

and tree house 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,” the man 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 Tropical Spritz?” Trying

to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they

sit down on her couch to talk After they exchange their

individual survival stories, the woman announces, “I'm

going to slip into something more comfortable Would you like

to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom

cabinet upstairs.” No longer questioning anything, the man

goes upstairs into the bathroom There, in the cabinet is 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's next?” When he returns, she greets him wearing

nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each

strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias.

She then beckons for him to sit down next to her. “Tell

me,” she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him,

“We've both been out here for many months You must have

been lonely There's something I'm certain you feel like

doing right now, something you've been longing for,

right?” She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what

he's hearing “You mean…” he swallows excitedly as

tears start to form in his eyes, “You've built a Golf

Course ?”
