Island
A team of sociologists have planned an experiment in isolation.
They send an Englishman, a Frenchman and a Japanese man to a deserted
island and arrange to come back and pick them up in a year's time and see how they
have adapted.
The sociologists leave, and the three men decide to split up the tasks amongst
themselves.
"I'm an engineer" says the Englishman, "So I'll handle building a shelter". He
turns to the Frenchman and says: "You French are pretty good cooks - why
don't you handle the cooking?" The Frenchman agrees, and the Englishman turns to the
Japanese "That leaves you to organise the supplies" he says. The Japanese man
agrees and each man sets about his tasks.
A year passes, and the sociologists return to see how the men have coped.
They expect to find three desperate men, unhappy with having to live on
the island,
but instead find a huge wooden house with verandas and porches and
balconies. The Englishman comes to greet them, and when they express their surprise about
the house he just shrugs and says "Yeah well I had a lot of raw materials so I
kind of went to town and did the place up"
The team are amazed and are shown inside to the kitchen where they're
greeted with the most amazing smell of delicious food. The Frenchman sees their
surprise and just shrugs "I had lots to work with" he says, & this island has loads of
edible herbs and plants."
The team sits down to eat and are about to start when one of them inquires
about the Japanese man.
"Oh we don't know what happened to him" explains the Englishman, he ran
off into the woods to sort out the supplies and hasn't been seen since".
They all agree that they should try to find the man, and a search party is organised. They make it about 100 yards into the woods, when the Japanese man jumps
out from behind a tree, stark naked with half a coconut on his head, and peacock
feathers sticking out of his bum, and shouts.......................................
