[QUOTE="hong, post: 431028, member: 537"] Old joke: Two sailors in the 18th century survive when their ship sinks in a storm. They make a raft out of bits of wood, but they don't have any means of navigating. So for weeks on end, they drift, surviving only on fish and rain water. Finally, they sight an island on the horizon. They're really happy, but then one sailor says to the other, "hang on, you don't know who's living on that island. It could be filled with savage cannibals!" The other sailor says, "you're right. But we don't have any choice, we'll surely die if we keep drifting like this." So they paddle their way closer to the island, trying to keep a low profile. Finally, they get close enough to see what's on the shore. What they see is a group of men building a gallows. "Yes!!" shout the sailors. "Civilisation!!!" [/QUOTE]
