So I'm sailing 'round the world solo and I'm somewhere in the South Pacific when a sudden squall swamps my sailboat and in a panic before my boat goes under all I have time to grab was a compass and a protractor and a case of vodka (Grey Goose). After spending fifteen days floating in the water (I drank half the vodka to survive and used the empty bottles as flotation devices) I was lucky enough to wash ashore on a tiny atoll. Imagine a big expanse of blue water, a mound of sand and one palm tree. Well no sooner had I shaken a coconut loose from the tree when a local fellow jumped out from behind the tree. He was dressed in full war paint and little else. Before he could cut me to pieces with the huge war club he carried I offered him a coconut full of coconut milk and vodka. After 6 or 8 coconuts each we had become good friends. Using a bottle top we fashioned a canoe from the tree. soon we were under way. After another week at sea we reached the mainland. He gave me his club as a parting gift. I can't return it to him because I can't figure out where the club came from. Please help.
