“ Stop me if you've heard this one before.
Two men were stranded on a desert island. One of them was a fisherman, the other wasn't. OK, the other was a car salesman if you must know, and not a very productive member of this two-man society, either.
There.

Since day one, the fisherman was fishing for food, while the car salesman was laying on the beach feeling privileged. After five days of the same routine, the fisherman finally managed to catch a golden fish which right away demanded to be thrown back in the water. Disgusted by its demeanor, the fisherman refused to comply. The fish quickly changed its tuna and in exchange for its freedom, the little fucker was going to grant him two wishes.

The fisherman did not believe in such nonsense even though it was coming from the horse's mouth. He was a simple man with a simple desire to eat and get rescued. In the face of its looming demise, the magical creature upped the stakes with a third wish. No dice. No sir. Determined to consume his catch, the fisherman reached for his knife when the car salesman convinced him to proceed otherwise.

What?
Yes.
All it took him was one pitch.
Yep, he offered him a deal of a lifetime.
Really?
Here we are, talking about a fish who can express itself... grant wishes... on a desert island in the middle of God knows where, and your main concern is how could the salesman convince the fisherman in such a short period.
Really?
Well... he was good at his job.
Unlike the fisherman, who might I remind you took five days to catch one.punny.fish.
Fiiiii-ve days!
No, I have no idea what transpired in the change of heart, but you can bet your ass it carried a weight.
It's not important anyway.
What matters is he smooth-talked the fisherman to set the wish granter free, and that's all to it.
Happy!?
Can I continue?
OK.

So!
Said the little fishy;
"I'll grant three wishes to the one who caught me and double the pleasure for the one who saved me."
Seeing how the ball was in his court, the fisherman made his first wish.

He wished for a full belly.
And... he got an all-you-can-eat salad, slash vegan buffet.
Nice.
???
At the same time, the car salesman received a smorgasbord of a lavishly arranged luau feast, and a fridge full of cold beer. Yeah, the whole nine yards.

Disappointed for the lack of pizza's in his bounty, so to speak, the fisherman's next wish was a companion in a form of a woman. And a woman he got. Fat, ugly, and full of cellulite but a woman, nonetheless. Unfortunately, he wasn't well endowed to take advantage of the gift, if you know what I mean. Not that it would've mattered anyway. The woman was constantly complaining of throbbing headaches and excruciating cramps.

On the other hand, the car salesman got twins!!! Certified centerfolds, playboy bunny-type sex bombs, if you know what I'm insinuating, with long blonde hair, and huge, perky knockers. One of them was horny day and night, while the other was willing to experiment in any way you can stretch your imagination.

The fisherman wasn't happy with the turn of events. He took a hard look at his new-found fortune if you can call it that, and analyzed the shit out of his previous biddings. Not for nothing, he came to the conclusion that the devil's in the details. His wishes were too simple. There was room for wiggle and loose interpretations. This made him deeply aware of the importance of a well-defined wish. In order to turn things in his favor, he made his final request:


I wish one of my gonads to rot and fall off. "
                                                                   — One Funny Mofo

“ Hmm...
If the fisherman wished to be teleported back to civilization, what would've happened to the salesman?
Huh? "

I have the Night Ranger, Bad Company, Bruce Dickinson, Badlands, Motley Crue, Testament, Skid Row, Black Sabbath and Dio albums.

I used to have the Peter Gabriel album on cassette. And I used to have that Armored Saint album but I didn't think much of it so I ended up getting rid of it. But of course, now I want to reaquire it.

I didn't like it at first either, but really liked it this time around.

“ Stop me if you've heard this one before.
A guy was stranded on a desert island with Heidi Klum.
Initially, he played it cool, not making any moves on her for several weeks.
Finally, he asked her if they could start a physical relationship, so as to attend to each other's needs.
Heidi was game and a consensual relationship began.
After several months, the guy approached Heidi and said:
"I'd like to ask you a favor, but it's kind of a guy thing."
Heidi replied: "Okay,"
to which he asked:
"Can I borrow your eyebrow pencil?"
Heidi looked at him in confusion but obliged.
The guy then asked:
"Do you mind if I use the eyebrow pencil to draw a mustache on you?"
Heidi was growing worried, but again obliged, so the guy drew a mustache on her.
Then the guy said:
"Can you wear some of my clothes?
I need you to look more like a man.
"
Heidi was becoming disappointed at this point, but hesitantly put on his clothes.
Finally, the guy said to Heidi:
"Do you mind if I call you Phil?"
Heidi had now become very dejected yet still, she agreed:
"No, I guess not, you can call me Phil."
So, the guy reached out and grabbed Heidi by the arms and shouted:
"Phil, you'll never believe who I'm fucking! "
                                                                   — One Funny Mofo

“ Let me guess...  
If by any chance Heidi was stranded on this deserted island of yours, right after that infamous lingerie shooting with her daughter Leni, you'll be asking one of them to wear glasses and the other to shave her head just so you can exclaim:
Hey, Jerry, Steve you'll never believe who I'm doing the nasty with these days!
Right?
