What a beautiful site

From those of us on the longer, straight streets

A nice story

One day a man decided to retire...

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?"  "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." 

 

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," she replied. 

"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, 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,

"Don't tell me you've built a Golf Course?"
