But what if one of them still has alcohol in it?

Who are on the next two islands throwing bottles in the sea? Are they trying to communicate or litter?

A heavy drinker on the other island, with an unlimited supply of (writing) paper. Hope they all get rescued soon.

But why is the rum gone?

well, someone bottled it!

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip…

Won’t stop viruses and worms … Use the palmtree to build a firewall?

It’s called “Phishing” !!

Thousand-Desert-Island Addressing.

The guy on the right reminds me of my once young granddaughters, who 20 years ago, couldn’t wait to get to family dinner table with their phones. When I denied them that totally inappropriate privilege, their hair and expressions resembled his. They consumed a ton of food in about 3 minutes flat, then sulked when I wouldn’t let them race away until all were finished. That useless, thoughtless fixation appears to worse now everywhere.

And don’t get overexcited upon the first ship sighting – it could be a trojan.

It amazes me how these guys ended up on small deserted islands with nothing but hundreds of bottles, paper and pencils lol

Where’d they get so many bottles?

For the record, since the invention of spam email my actual snail mail trash has diminished too almost nothing. Score one for the environment. At least my environment.

Whenever someone sends an unsolicited e-mail, does the Monty Python group get a royalty?

Where is the first island getting all the bottles?

Good joke, my spam filter doesn’t work that well.

So….why ain’t they all swimmin’for those mountainous big islands looming in the background? Might be a cruise ship just around the corner…..

Amazon. . . .

“I do miss the ones for pills that promised to make my island bigger.” :)

Walked out this morning, I don’t believe what I saw

Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore

Seems I’m not alone at being alone

Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home

The Archipelago of something or other.

I expected cans of spam to be floating around them

Is the “stranded on a tiny desert island” the most heavily used comic convention of all time?

In real life,has anybody actually FOUND a message inside a bottle?

Pertinent, intelligent, clever, brilliant and amusing sorta…

You’d think no one could come up with another deserted island joke, but here you go.

You could build a raft with all those bottles.

LOLOLOL!!!!!

Regarding the great Pacific garbage patch, I’ve often wondered:

What if all nations crossing the central Pacific routed their ships through the patch, and required them to net and bring aboard 1/2 ton of that garbage, to be taken to the next port of call and offloaded to be dried and burned in a power plant. How long would it take to completely remove that garbage from the ocean? Same question for the Atlantic one.

So, how come the Castaways on the Other islands got all the Wine?
