I think this describes how a lot of dysfunctional relationships start...

To be fair I think this is how a lot of highly functional relationships start as well.

[–]Fibtibbedbaktoreddit 2 points3 points ago

I'm no relationship expert but as a lonely kid I always had this delusion that if I found the right girl all my other problems would just solve themselves. Nope.

I had to at least check if it was a nice butt hole.

And I came to the conclusion that I haven't seen enough butt holes to judge that.

[–]Reddstarrx 15 points16 points ago

Why not just trade.. The guy on the island take the boat and the guy on the boat take the land?

[–]Illegal_Procedure 14 points15 points ago

Or, you could be resourceful, and make two paddles out of the tree and some sun protection out of the leaves. As far as drinking water, you better hope it rains... god damn it I've seen one too many survival shows.

[–]Reddstarrx 8 points9 points ago

We could do our own survival show..

[–]JarasM 10 points11 points ago

With blackjack and hookers!

[–]DeSaad 3 points4 points ago

The sand filters the salt out. Dig a hole near the center of that island and you have your own fresh water hole.

[–]Ruvaak 0 points1 point ago

Can you verify this before I go drinking sea water?

[–]DeSaad 1 point2 points ago

It wouldn't be a very good idea if you have an alternative way of getting water, and it's always safer to boil water you're not sure is healthy.

However if you're stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere go some distance from the shore (about 25-30 feet should do) and dig until you find water. Make a water hole about one or two inches deep, and seep your cup carefully.

a fast search will get you results like this, which are anecdotal at best, so /r/AskScience would be a better bet to verify what I said.

[–]Ruvaak 0 points1 point ago

Thanks.

[–]Venderpa 4 points5 points ago

What the comic implies is that the one on the boat had just spend days/weeks in open waters looking for land while the one on land did the opposite. If they were to swap, all that would happen is the one that's now on the boat would wish for land and vice versa for the other one.

[–]Montisa2008 1 point2 points ago

Exactly. It's a paradox. Then they will both die.

[–]BWalker19 1 point2 points ago

Unless one eats the other. Can probably last an extra week. Might be able to find land if you went in 1 direction on the boat.

[–]BankerWhoLeavesAt420 2 points3 points ago

that island is basically a stationary boat.

[–]MightyMorph 29 points30 points ago

look at the bright side, they can chop down the tree in some way or use the giant leaves interwoven or folded to be strong enough to create oars and sail to another nearby island and avoid the shark.

Or one of them can eat the other one. Either or.

[–]huntgrav 62 points63 points ago

What shark?

Just kidding, I saw the top posted comment. But never fucking comment out of context again.

[–]NANANANANA_Batman 9 points10 points ago

You're the face of Reddit I could never be.

[–]qwertyis1 -5 points-4 points ago

If they don't have an axe they can get a herring.

[–]Demono 14 points15 points ago

They're in the same boat now

[–]joshman196 6 points7 points ago

YYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[–]appleburn 9 points10 points ago

boat guy land on land. Both can take down tree and fashion them into makshift paddles. Both men can go on boat and use their strngth to paddle across the ocean. killing and eating fish on the way.

[–]studcase 6 points7 points ago

This is the type a cheesy picture my Grandma would send me.

[–]Abstract_Logic 12 points13 points ago

[–]ANAL_PLUNDERING 2 points3 points ago

Good picture, bad title.

[–]DeathDeli 4 points5 points ago

Little did they know the man on the island entered a time warp that he saw the past-self in boat going to the island he was already at..... Or was the time warp in the past showing the future? Hmmm...

Time paradox approaching!

[–]ozpunk 0 points1 point ago

Quick, call J.J. Abrams!

Well I guess you're right...but I think I used the right words in the title, unlike other people.

[–]Kijad 1 point2 points ago

Trade!

From the great mind of Mr Phil McAndrew. Xoxo.

[–]Dalraven 0 points1 point ago

pretty sure this is in the MAD magazine...

[–]ThePeanutBuddha 1 point2 points ago

Name the 10 albums the guy on the island has with him... 'k, go:

exactly.

[–]nunnally 0 points1 point ago

I'm afraid it's very serious...

[–]Strangeish 2 points3 points ago

[–]deiopa 0 points1 point ago

Maybe they are man and woman. Title would still be correct, somehow.

[–]chowtime1993 0 points1 point ago

Well at least one of them will get to eat.

[–]CaptainDickPunch 0 points1 point ago

And then? Lots of gay sex.

Johnny Castaway!

[–]MonoMcFlury 0 points1 point ago

Well, death.

[–]lukesnydermusic 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, they'll both be in a better position. They can use the boat for shade, and also to help catch water if it rains, for example.

[–]JewBear3 -1 points0 points ago

I don't get it.

[–]no_talent_ass_clown -1 points0 points ago

In all seriousness, the quality of "funny" that reaches the front page is declining, rapidly.

[–]reginaldaugustus -1 points0 points ago

Well, clearly, the guy shouldn't have called the ship a "boat." There's a big difference, after all!

[–]magare808 0 points1 point ago

Pretty accurately describes most of my relationships so far. And it's not funny.

[–]Mikkels 1 point2 points ago

Isn't this a rip off of The Gary larson Cartoon where a ship is about to hit an iceberg and The guy on The boat yells "iiiicebeeeerg" and a penguin on The iceberg yells "shiiiiip"?

the tree should be bending the other direction in the second frame. just sayin.

Simple. Guy on the island takes the boat, dude in te boat takes the island, rinse, and repeat.

[–]BrickAK -1 points0 points ago

Now kiss.

[–]Roderick111 1 point2 points ago

How does an ancient, many-times reposted article make it to the front page? Oh, this is reddit, nevermind.

I would swim down and visit spongebob

[–]magic_mushrooms 0 points1 point ago

atleast they have each other now

[–]wookiebread 0 points1 point ago

How come every island has a tree? Why does every island tree usually have coconuts? I'm just sitting here with my piece of shit birch trees.

[–]Midnight_In_Paris 1 point2 points ago

I'm on a boat i'm on a boat..bitch

[–]hoosiers26 0 points1 point ago

They should trade

[–]LaziestManAlive 0 points1 point ago

This actually strikes me as sad. For the guy on the island, all he wants is something to send him away in search of civilization: a boat. For the guy on the boat, sailing for god knows how long, land is his only desire. Basically, even if the island guy had a boat, he would probably aimlessly sail for weeks until starving to death or returning to the island.

[–]Coco35840 0 points1 point ago

Just trade with each other.

[–]OBasileus 0 points1 point ago

At least one of them is eating tonight.

[–]Midnite32 2 points3 points ago

I see this on /r/funny every week. Seriously.....

[–]BhangRaas -1 points0 points ago

It's bothering me that the island is on the boat's left in both perspectives....

[–]sojik 4 points5 points ago

The camera, if you will, is on the islands right in the first panel and the boats left in the second panel. It's not a hard concept to grasp. What should bother you is the fact that the tree seems to be bent the same way both times.

[–]Typrix 10 points11 points ago

Something like this.

[–]Kordesii -1 points0 points ago

I can't get over that animal looking thing at the top of the palm. Is that just another of the palm's leaves? It looks like a penguin...

[–]Collegeforlife -1 points0 points ago

WILSON!

[–]completely_blind 0 points1 point ago

Why is that guy yelling Bo At?

[–]7557abc -2 points-1 points ago

I would just like to say this was stolen from mad magazine. Just saying.
