The Island

[BryanK]

This isn't so much funny as it is fun. It helps to kill time, or if your in a crappy mood, it helps :) Please feel free to add some items to the list.

The Island

You have been granted the ability to live on a 20 mile island for the rest of your days. You will have no contact with the outside world except for a one hour phone call twice a year. You will have no computer. You will have running water and electricity. This island has all terrain features (i.e., mountains, desert, jungle, forest), roads, and lookout points. Once on this island, you can never escape. The contents though, depend on your choices. You will decide every factor. You do not age physically, nor does anyone you decide to embark on this journey with. Choose wisely, because you will be on this island forever. This is pure fantasy, but it helps to take your mind off of things when life on life’s terms gets hectic. Have Fun!
