The Adventures of Bill Gates
After years of hard work, an ambitious yuppie books himself
on a Caribbean cruise. He has the time of his life until the boat sinks and he
ends up on a desert island. A month later the man looks out to sea and sees a gorgeous
woman rowing to shore. He ask her where she's come from.
"I was shipwrecked last year," she says. "I've been stranded on
the other side of the island."
"Where did you get the rowboat?"
"I made it out of gum trees and palm branches," she replies.
"But you had no tool!." he says.
"I used volcanic rocks to whittle the wood, and eucalyptus jelly as
glue."
The woman takes the man to the other side of the island and leads him into an
elaborate bungalow with ceiling fans and furniture she made out of vines. The
man can't believe his eyes.
They sit down, and she smiles at him. "Now, tell me," she says,
looking deep into his eyes. "Is there something you've been desiring while
you've been alone? You know..."
"Do you mean, " he whispers, "I can check my E-mail from
here!?!"
