A
Tropical Island
When
cook Joe waded ashore on the tropical
island
- he had sleep-walked and fallen off
his
ship during the night - he was hit by a lump
of
ice that fell from a transport plane full of
soldiers
flying to yet another war.
The
only witness was a man who had come
there
to sulk after an acrimonious divorce;
just
as well he buried Joe, sailed back to
the
mainland and told the truth, rumours
had
it the cook Joe had committed suicide.
Joe's
many friends came to the island
brought
food and ale to give him a proper
send
off but changed the truth of his demise
to
heart attack, because unkind people may
find the way he died quite hilarious.
