Home Jeeves

You're sunburned. Your hair would give the Unibomber a run for his money. You're sick of pineapple and you've seriously considered BBQing your dream castaway. Your crossword puzzles are mere threads because you've erased and refilled them so many times you've lost count. Your book has long since gone, since it was used as kindling for you to roast your nightly dinner of coconut and seaweed. You've finally resigned yourself to a life of tattered rags (where are Ginger and Lovie when you need them?) and salt water. Then suddenly, you spot it. Your rescue ship.

Before you can say "I vote MYSELF off the island!" you are standing on the edge of the beach, frantically waving it in. Your significant other, children, parents, etc. are all practically diving over the edge to come to your rescue. As they pull in, you and your dream castaway start to climb on board when suddenly, you are struck with a pang of sentimentality.

But only a pang. You're not crazy... you know it's time to go. As your family is smothering you with hugs and kisses, you manage to get away long enough to hear the captain ask "Where to?"

You take a deep breath and tell him where you want to go. Other than home, where would this dream destination be?

I'd gather up the troops and head for the golden arches to indulge in a cheesburger, fries, a diet Pepsi (why bother with diet...I know. Oh and of course an Oreo cookie.

Hmmm...probably some really nice hotel--with room service, a shower, and CNN. :)

Somewhere to get greasy food -- probably Culver's for cheese curds. YUM.

I'd have that big ol boat take me straight to the In n' Out. There I'd get me a roll of Copenhagen, the latest issue of Ammo & Antlers, and a pony-keg of Mountain Dew.

Git r' done. Yep.

I would want the same thing I want every day.....a crazy indulgent spa, pedicure, manicure, get my hair highlighted, okay, so they can skip the seaweed wrap.....

Followed by the breakfast buffet at the Hilton Tower Gardens in Huntington Beach, CA. Belgian Waffles.............mmmmmmmmm.....
