Saved!
An ambitious yuppie finally decided
to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to
have the time of his life... until the boat sank. The man found himself swept up
on the shore of 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 him. In disbelief, he
asks her, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" "I
rowed from the other side of the island," she says. "I landed here
when my cruise ship sank."
"Amazing," he says. "You were really lucky to have a rowboat wash
up with you."
"Oh, this?" replies the woman. "I made the rowboat 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, but, that's impossible," stutters the man. "You had no
tools or hardware. How did you manage?"
"Oh, that was no problem," replies the woman. "On the south side
of the island there is a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock 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. "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 onto 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 call it home. Sit down, please.
Would you like to have a drink?"
"No, no thank you," he says, still dazed. "Can't take any more
coconut juice."
"It's not 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 shave? There is a razor upstairs in the cabinet in the
bathroom."
No longer questioning anything, the man goes into the bathroom. There, in the
cabinet, is a razor made from a bone handle. Two shells honed to a hollow ground
edge are fastened on to its end inside of 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 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? You know." She stares into his
eyes. He can't believe what he's hearing: "You mean...?", he swallows
excitedly, I can check my e-mail from here...?"
