A retired corporate executive 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! He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, while lying on the beach, the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. 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 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 branch and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree. "But, where did you get the tools?" She replied. "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 temperaturein my kiln, it melted into forgeable ductile iron. I used the product to createtools with which I made the items that I required.The guy is stunned. "Let's row over to my place," she says. After a few hours of rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf, As the man looks to shore, he sees 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 stares 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 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?" Flummoxed, 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 ashower and shave? There is a razor upstairs in the bathroom cabinet." The man entered the bathroom to find a cabinet in which a razor made from a bone handle with two shells honed to a hollow ground edge and fastened 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.
He swallows excitedly, tears start to form in his eyes, and says, "You mean...I can check my e-mail from here?"
