A man was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep > and a sheepdog were washed up with him. > > After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted > island. > > After being there awhile, he got into the habit of taking his two animal > companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset. > > One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus > clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance. > > As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the > lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it. > But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until > the man took his arm from around the sheep. > > After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but > there was no more cuddling. > A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. > > The only survivor was Margaret Beckett. > That evening, the man brought Margaret to the evening beach ritual. It > was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle > breeze - perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to > get 'those feelings' again.. > > He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave in and leaned > over to Margaret and told her he hadn't had sex for months. Margaret > batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him. > > > > > He said, 'Would you mind taking the dog for a walk?' >
