FROM WIKIPEDIA
Ginger or Mary Ann?
By Brian "We Like Short-Shorts" Anderson The question of which one men prefer, and to a lesser extent, who women view themselves to be more like, has endured. It has inspired videos, essays, a 1993 Budweiser beer commercial, and even the occasional sermon. By most accounts, the wholesome, low-maintenance Mary Ann has consistently outpolled the glamorous but demanding Ginger since the very beginning.
http://retrocrush.com/babes/dawn/gingervmaryann.html We are stuck on an island, with no prospect of getting back to civilization. Who will help you survive? Mary Ann can cook. Mary Ann can sew. Mary Ann can gather wood. The first thing Ginger does when she finds herself on an island is make a dress. One imagines her stumbling through the bamboo in her entirely inappropriate high heels. I invite you to simply feel Mary Ann’s soles for evidence: hard calluses from years of frolicking in the corn fields and well-suited to bouncing down the lagoon trail to fill up the water gourd. I for one would rather rely on the self-confident, self-reliant Mary Ann Summers, who would bring me tropical drinks in coconut shells as I napped in my swaying hammock, and while resting Mary Ann would keep my red shirt clean and my white hat starched.
THE BALLAD OF GILLIGAN'S ISLAND
by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle
In tropical sea is a tropic port,
Vacation fun the favorite sport.
This is the place where the tourists flock,
Renting boats at the busy dock.
Two secretaries from the U-S-A,
Sail on the S.S. Minnow this lovely day.
A high school teacher is next aboard,
Taking a trip they cannot afford.
The next two people are millionaires,
They got no worries, got no cares.
They climb aboard and step inside,
Just enough bags for a six-hour ride.
Tourists come, tourists go,
Tourists touring to and fro.
Five nice tourists, they take this trip,
Relax on deck on this little ship.
The weather is clear and the sun is hot,
Tourists tossing to and fro.
The captain is brave, he's...
"Carrrramba! What a storm!"
The captain is brave, he's a fearless man,
Gilligan helps him all he can.
The wheel, she break they lose control,
S.S. Minnow do the rock-and-roll.
The sea now calm and the weather grand,
Where is the Minnow upon the sand?
What happens now will bring you a smile,
The adventures of Gilligan,
And the Skipper,
And the Millionaire,
And Mrs. Millionaire,
And the other tourists,
On Gilligan's Isle...
Closing credits song (Same tune)
We leave our friends on this tropic shore,
Perhaps they'll be here forevermore.
Maybe a rescue will set them free,
Tune in next week and you will see
The Tale of Gilligan's Island.
