You’ll Never Guess . . .

I saw this recently and it gave me a belly laugh as it is probably true of most men.

A young single guy was on a cruise ship, having the time of his life.  On the second day of the cruise, the ship slams into an iceberg and begins to sink.  Passengers around him are screaming, flailing, and drowning but our guy manages to grab on to a piece of driftwood and, using every last ounce of strength, swims a few miles through the shark-infested sea to a remote island.  

Sprawled on the shore nearly passed out from exhaustion, he turns his head and sees a woman lying near him, unconscious, barely breathing.  She has also managed to wash up on shore from the sinking ship.  He makes his way to her, and with some mouth-to-mouth assistance he manages to get her breathing again.

She looks up at him, wide-eyed and grateful and says, “My God, you saved my life!”

He suddenly realizes the woman is Jennifer Anniston!  Days and weeks go by. Jennifer and our guy are living on the island together.  They have set up a hut, there is fruit on the trees, and they are in heaven.  Jennifer has fallen madly in love with our man, and they are making passionate love morning, noon and night.  Alas, one day she notices he is looking kind of glum.

“What is the matter, sweetheart?” she asks, “We have a wonderful life together, and I am in love with you.  Is there something wrong?  Is there anything I can do?”

He says, “Actually, Jennifer, there is.  Would you mind, putting on my shirt?”

“Sure,” she says, “If it will help.”

He takes off his shirt and she puts it on.

“Now would you put on my pants?” he asks.

“Sure, honey, if it is really going to make you feel better,” she says.

“Okay, would you put on my hat now, and draw a little moustache on your face?” he asks.

“Whatever you want, sweetie,” she says, and does.

Then he says, “Now, would you start walking around the edge of the island?”

She starts walking around the perimeter of the island.  He sets off in the other direction.  They meet up half way around the island a few minutes later.

He rushes up to her, grabs her by the shoulders, and says . . .”Dude!  You will never believe who I am sleeping with!”

Doesn’t that sound like us?

We are moving toward break up with melting going on even during most of the nighttime hours with only a small amount of time now below freezing.  The only problem has been every few days we still get a small dumping of snow.  Last Tuesday and Wednesday brought about 3 inches each day and we are expected to get more tonight.  It feels like the tide with an ebb and flow for the last few snowfalls where it is pretty in the morning and then most of everything melts by nightfall.

I’m so ready for summer.  I’m heading out later this week to a jobsite for a meeting with the community before our housing units and equipment start arriving as they are on barges coming from Seattle and Anchorage.  It should be interesting as this will be our first flight with Servant Air since Jason put his plane in the trees a few weeks ago.  I’m not sure if he is grounded or if someone else will be flying us over and back.

I’m working on a post about my grandson who had an incident this past weekend that hurts me to have to write about it but I’m trying to make it funny to take away some of the pain . . . more on it later, hopefully tomorrow.
