What's the old, tired, expression: "Well, it was a tough job, but SOMEONE had to do it!" My name is Peter ("Pete") and among other things, I fly planes for a living. Several years ago, I had been hired to run this chartered Otter flying boat. We were carting VIP celebrities to this hush hush party to be held on one of Sir Richard Branson's, OBE private island retreats. It was to be a fete celebrating both the anniversary of a certain sports magazines 1st bikini issue AND the date that a certain men's magazine with monthly playmates went public. This hush hush party would have a who's who celebrity guest list. Every female that ever graced the pages of those rags, or stage and screen, would be there. When I was handed MY passenger list, I was floored.
My passengers would include Jessica Simpson ("Dukes of Hazard"-movie), Cory Everson (Ms.Olympia, i.e. perfect body), Christina Applegate ("Married with Children"), Bo Derek ("Tarzan", "10"), Cheryl Tiegs (model, 1st SI bikini model), Donna Michelle, the former Playmate of the year, Sarah Jessica Parker ("Honeymoon in Vegas"), Pamela Anderson ("wedding album" ahem...), Anna Kournikova (incredible babe who also played at tennis), and Barbie Benton (former Hugh Hefner companion, playmate, who got better looking at 40, if possible).
The plane was a Bombardier Otter. This particular example had seen better days. It was a particularly tired plane. The charter company that I worked for spared no expense in sparing expense. The plane was little changed from prior usage in Canada prospecting for oil, dropping wildcatters over virgin land, laying claims. We needed a big plane like this because ten women brought an enormous load of cargo (luggage).
There's a reason that people have gotten all sorts of perceptions, rightly or wrongly, about the waters of the Caribbean. Weather can change from hour to hour, with thunderstorms brewing up from nowhere. It was standard practice that we would descend over the islands and proceed at low altitude to our final destination. The route kept us over 'the beaten path' where we could set down safely and be rescued in an hour, at most.
A problem was that severe weather had just popped up in the middle of that route. I wanted to divert around the weather, as an Otter in turbulence would be a mighty scary ride for this load of passengers. I tried to contact Nassau air traffic control with no luck. The radio in this plane looked old enough to still pick up Charley McCarthy or Burns and Allen. When the handset came off in my hand, the wire to it hanging loose, I figured we had "a failure to communicate". We were airborne, however, and not encountering other problems. That is, we had no problems until KAPOW!!
A flock of large aquatic birds suddenly appeared before us. While I thought about violent evasive maneuvers, with concerns about what that would do to our 'guests', our engines were inundated with birdmeat, still on the feather. Two birds hit one engine, knocking it out, while the other engine was hit enough to develop an instant overheating problem. We had to land, fast, as in right now. I found this cay, an island about four miles square. We had enough engine power to land and beach this old flying disaster. Our guests were never told what was going on (the charter company didn't fuss over 2nd pilots or stewardesses) so all this came as a surprise.
I opened the door on the side and told them that we were 'home', at least temporarily. They could undo their belts and come out. You never saw more quiet, contrite, and inquisitive people than my ten glorious guests. As they plopped down on the beach, I dragged their megaton luggage forward and then to the edge of the door. One guest actually brought a 'steamer trunk' that weighed more than I could carry.
To my relief, help arrived in the form of Anna Kournikova and Cory Everson. Figures it would be the two Euro women. That immense trunk was like an overnight bag to the awesome Cory, while Anna was strong too and took three bags at a time. Within an hour, we were totally offloaded from the plane.
Looking at the women and the island, I thought back to Tattoo (the dwarf) and Ricardo Montalban on, wait for it, 'Fantasy Island' ("da plane boss, da plane!") Then another thought crossed my twenty cent mind: these women would certainly make my list of best babes to be abandoned with on a tropical island. Too bad I was already married or this would be really exciting.
We were lucky that the plane not only carried the ladies' luggage but also some tents, tables, party supplies, and other things for that party. All of these things would be put to good use.
Sarah (Jessica Parker) said in wonderful Manhattanese: "How many people vote to make this a woman's island, run by popular vote until rescued?"
The vote was ten to one, strangely enough.
The women quickly set up a senior council (Sarah, Cheryl, Cory, Barbie) who would decide most things without a general vote. We had five tents, so each woman would have a roommate, and that 'man' could sleep in that old, creepy, plane, the one that dumped them here.
Well, that was that and we separated by the sexes. I was only engaged by them when they thought there was a plane or ship nearby; I had to identify it and determine if signal fires would help. The only other time I was enlisted was when my separate fishing efforts bettered theirs. I had hung some mosquito netting out as a fish trap and it was pretty effective.
When I brought them my excess catch, they always looked at me with a jaundiced eye, like I expected something in return. The women were expecting me to beg for sex, maybe even attack them, as the days tolled. Some of them even got mad that I was the soul of control, but I was married and confident I would soon be back with my dear wife.
Men, in women's eyes, have no self-control and are by nature hopeless horny creatures. There was no way that I (a man) could 'outlast' these women. Well, each day I would turn my gold band 90 degrees, reiterating my wedding vows.
