Subject: Fw: The vacation

 An ambitious engineer 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 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 the shore.  In
disbelief, he asks her, "Where did you come from?  How did you get here?"
She replied, "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?"
replied the woman.  "I made the row boat 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, where did you get the tools?" "Oh, that was no problem," replied 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."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 on to 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, 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 to have a drink?" "No, no
thank you," 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 bathroom cabinet."

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 and tears start to form in his eyes,".....  You have a motorcycle
here too!"
