> Retirement …
> One day a man decided to retire...
> 
> 
> 
> He booked himself on a Caribbeancruiseand 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?"
> 
> She replies, "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."
> 
> "Oh, this thing?" 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," replied the woman. "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 out, 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,
> I can fly R/C ? 
>
