\>\> Ed finally decides to take a vacation. He books himself on a Caribbean \>\> cruise and proceeds to have the time of his life - until the boat sank. \>\> \>\> He 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 over 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 \>\> found on the island. I whittled the oars 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 Ed. “You had no tools or \>\> hardware. How did you manage?” \>\> \>\> “Oh, no problem,” replies the woman. “On the South side of the island, \>\> there is a very unusual strata 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.” Ed \>\> 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 Ed \>\> 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, he 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 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 built a still. How about \>\> a \>\> Pina Colada?” \>\> \>\> Trying to hide his continued amazement, he accepts, and they sit down on \>\> her hand-woven 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, Ed 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. \>\> “WOW! 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. I know 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, \>\> …we can watch the Steeler game from here?" ---
