The Castaway


The young couple were shipwrecked on an island where a castaway explained that the only way to attract passing ships was to signal from a high coconut tree on the beach. He climbed 
the tree and yelled to the couple below, "Stop making love down there!"
"What's the matter with you?" the husband asked after the castaway came down. 
"We weren't making love." 
"Sorry," said the castaway. "From up there, it looked like you were." But each morning after that, the castaway scaled the tree and yelled the same thing. Finally, the husband decided to climb up to see for himself. With great difficulty, he made his way to the top and seated 
himself there. Meanwhile, his wife and the castaway were embracing passionately. 
"That's amazing!" the husband mused as he looked down. "It does look like they're making 
love!"
