The Shipwreck Survivors

[Garry Russell]

A ship carrying sheep encountered a terrible storm mid way across the Pacific

Washed ashore the following morning were the only three survivors, a man, sheep dog and a solitary sheep.

As the days passed the man gradually got shelter organised and when thing settled a bit he took to sitting on the beach at the end of the day and with the sheep and the dog for company, the three of them would stare in silence at the spectacle of another glorious sunset.

One day, caught in the romance of the event, the young man started getting 'urges'. Over the next few days this happened every night and...well, after all, it wasn't a bad looking sheep. He plucked up courage and made a move towards the sheep. The dog sense something straight off and growled baring his teeth. He was after all a sheep dog and it was his job to protect the sheep.

A few weeks later came another terrible storm and the following morning a figure was seen washed up on the beach. A sole survivor from a ship it was the most beautiful young woman the man had ever seen. Half dead, he dragged her out of the water and carried her up to the shelter.

Being young, she very soon recovered and every night joined the group watching the sunset.

After a few days of this, he started getting the 'urges' again, perhaps, he thought, now he has a better chance of satisfaction.

As the days went by, as before the feelings got stronger and stronger.

Eventually he could resist no more.

He looked at the woman beside him, then further down the line to the sheep and finally the dog.

Plucking up courage, he put his arm around her, pulling her slightly toward him and lent his head gently on her shoulder. Placing his lips right up against her ear he whispered softly....

"Do you mind taking the dog for a walk??"

Ooohhh, the inhumanity!

What a beastly thing to say.

Glad that you dropped in here, John;
I've been thinking that you are the man we should be asking about sheep puns, seeing as that's what New Zealanders keep them in!

Just you wait 'til I get my wellies off Mike!
