【正文】：There was this male engineer, on a cruise ship in theCaribbean for the first time. It was wonderful, the experience of his life. He was being waited on hand an foot. But, it did not last.A hurricane came up unexpectedly. The ship went down almostinstantly. The engineer found himself, he knew not how, swept up on the shore of an island. There was nothing else anywhere to be seen. No person, no supplies, nothing. The man looked around. There were some bananas and coconuts, but that was it. He was desperate, and forlorn, but decided to make the best of it. So for the next four months he ate bananas, drank coconut juice and mostly looked to the sea for a ship to come to his rescue. One day, as he was lying on the beach stroking his beard and looking for a ship, he spotted movement out of thecorner of his eye. Could it be true, was it a ship? No, from around the corner of the island came this rowboat. In it was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen, or at least seen in 4 months. She was tall, tanned, and her blond hair flowing inthe sea breeze gave her an almost ethereal quality. Shespotted him also as he was waving and yelling and screaming to get her attention. She rowed her boat towards him In disbelief, he asked, "Where did you come from?How did you get here"? She said, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed on this island when my cruise ship sank". "Amazing," he said, "I didn`t know anyone else hadsurvived. How many of you are there? Where, did you get therowboat? You must have been really lucky to have a rowboatwash up with you? "It is only me," she said, "and the rowboat didn`t wash up, nothing else did." "Well then," said the engineer, "how did you get the rowboat?" "I made the rowboat out of raw material that I found on the island," replied the woman. "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," he asked, "what about tools and hardware, how did you do that?" "Oh, no problem," replied the woman, "on thesouth side of the island there is a very unusual strata of alluvialrock exposed. I found that 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. But, enough of that," she said. "Where do you live?" The engineer was forced to confess that he had been sleeping on the beach. "Well, let`s row over to my place," she said. So they both got into the rowboat and left for her side of island. The woman easily rowed them around to a wharf that led to the approach to her place. She tied up the rowboat with a beautifully woven hemp rope. They walked up a stone walk and around a palm tree, there stood an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. "It`s not much," she said, "but I call it home. Sit down please, would you like to have a drink?" "No," the engineer said, "one more coconut juice and I will puke." "It won`t be coconutjuice," the woman replied, "I have a still, how about a Pina Colada?" Trying to hide his continued amazement, theman accepted, and they sat down on her couch to talk.After a while, and they had exchanged their stories, the womanasked, "Tell me, have you always had a beard?" "No," hereplied, "I was clean shaven all of my life, and even on the cruise ship." "Well, if you would like to shave, there is a man`s razor upstairs in the cabinet in the bathroom." So, no longer questioning anything, he went upstairs to the bathroom. There in the cabinet was a razor made from a bone handle, two shellshoned to a hollow ground edge were fastened on to its end inside of a swivel mechanism. He shaved, showered and wentback down stairs. "You look great," said the woman, "I think I will go up and slip into something more comfortable." So she did. And, the engineer continued to sip his Pina Colada. After a short time, the woman returned wearing vines and fig leafs strategically positioned and smelling faintly of gardenia. Shebeckoned for him to sit down next to her. She said "You know, we`ve been out here for a very long time. You`ve been lonely.There`s something I`m sure you really feel like doingright now, something you`ve been longing for all these months? You know......" she stared into his eyes. He couldn`t believe what he was hearing: " You mean ?", he replied, " I can check my email from here???"
