I am so here… and unlike many folks, unless it is necessary, I don’t want a position at all… no responisiblity beyond my own skin, man. But if I have to have one, I can handle internal security… [fierce] “Hey you, make sure you smoke/drink/rub-in all of that!” [/fierce] ---

I would really like to live on this deserted isle too, but it sounds like all the good jobs are already taken. Ooh, I know…I want to be the rich, bored housewife who has the illicit affairs with the cabana boys. “Yoohoo…oh cabana boy!” ---

I’m in. Tourism would help the islands economy, especially if visitors could sample the great product. I’d like to be involved in product development. If my hut has an ocean view I’ll do the weather forecasts (but only on nice days). ---

As Chief Policy Maker I declare that Grey Goose, Belvedere, and Ketel One Vodka’s are now considered legal items for import on our little island. There will be a party at my hut to celebrate later today…Vodka will be provided but its B.Y.O.W (Bring Your Own Weed) -SS 😃 ---
