This isn't about the Abacos, although I should imagine that "the bushes even got ears" there. But a few weekends ago, a nice lady who plays in our jazz band, our drop-dead, knock-out Latina lead singer, ended up in the wrong bed at the wrong time. Ugh-oh. Word spread for maybe 50 miles in all directions within two days.
There is a lot of sip-sip, or gossip as you would say, and often these stories are often embellished and polished to a high degree. For example, when my wife and I blew out our flippy-floppies on the dance flour and were crawling like babies, me chasing after land crabs with my teeth and Lori searching under tables for her shoes, EVERYONE knew about it. If a dog wasn't humping me while I was chasing the ghost crabs an all fours, it would not nearly be as amusing. :rolleyes:
Aye, what happens in paradise should stay in paradise, right? But noooo, the Coconut Telegraph has a life of its own. I've never had any bad experiences, except on this here newfangled internet stuff ... but to know it exists is powerful medicine. Stolen wives, boats, gear, and smuggled whatever, we know, and what we don't know we ask questions or (quite creatively) invent the answers.
Unfortunately, if you talk to a palm tree, they aren't very talkative unless you've blown out your flippy-floppies and have been crab hunting at night. I did have to call the cops one year because a spring break football player was humping my palm tree, and I feared for the poor trees' life. I would have not called the police if there really was a Yahooie up there, but alas, no Yahooie. -sammie :D
