Odd find

Brave - if it were me there would be a coconut, five quarters and an acorn still sitting on the bank.

Too many weirdos for me to unravel that thing....

The vision of a shrunken head did enter my mind.

Sounds like something a little kid would do...No note inside?

A coconut and five quarters tied into a pillowcase and thrown into the water makes perfect sense....it's clearly an offering made to the local monkey spirits.
...but an acorn? that's just plain ol' dumb.

The professor had been saving those for years! Yeah he got the quarters from that millionaire and the nut "acorn" from Ginger. He was getting the coconuts in order to make pina coladas for a date he had with Mary Ann and he was going to use the sheet as a barrier between his hut and the others for privacy. But Gilligan decided to grab the stuff from him and take them to his and the skippers hut! He tried to bribe the skipper with money and nuts in order to get him to play in the sheet with him. Well the Skipper got so mad because he said that he did not need any quarters to enjoy the "nuts" that Gilligan had offered him! So he wrapped them all up in the sheet and threw them off the island; and they ended up on the Florence side of the dam.

Thanks for clearing that up daddy-duck. Makes perfect sense to me!!

to make this story a bit odder, i saw a box in the road that had fell off a truck full of stuff (looked like someone was moving). i picked up the box and tried to catch them but lost them. i opened the box and guess what was in it... yep you got it. it was a coconut 5 quarters and an acorn.

OK...now this is starting to get creepy...

Right after I finished some Cap't D's fish this afternoon, I walked out into the yard and spied a white bag. I went and picked it up. It was only an empty Wal Mart bag someone had tossed out.
HOWEVER! As I took the last bite of my Mounds Coconut bar I was eating , an acorn fell and hit me right on the head. When I looked down at it? It was the size of a quarter!

Somewhere in there, there is a reference to the old joke "Who gave you the dime? They all did..."
Only two others were broke and had to use a coconut and an acorn.

A few years ago I was going down the highway behind a ambulance and it must have hit a bump or something. The next thing I knew the back door of the ambulance flew open and I was swerving to miss what looked to be a cooler! I hit my brakes, turned around in the road drove back to see what it really was. I kept thinking "God, if it is a cooler there could be a heart, eyes, kidney etc for a transplant". As I got closer I could tell it really was a cooler! With trembling hands and eyes half opened I opened it up....inside was somebody's bloody big toe! How I kept from passing out, I'll never know.

when i got home, someone had left a zip-lock with 4 quarters in it and a pack of papers!

After realizing I wasn't gonna pass out, I did the only thing that made sense: I CALLED A BIG TOE TRUCK!!!
