If you think the island is sinking, ask anyone FIRST if they have messed with your measuring/depth stick

read the outside of any box before planting those damn seeds...

instead of making a movie, use the film to send a message that you are the survivors of the Minnow...

If you're close to sending a message or contacting someone who can rescue you, quickly send Gilligan to the other side of the island to look for icebergs.

If someone is on the island and refuses to shoot off his flare gun until he's found his butterfly, knock him down and take it anyway. You can always apologize later.

water and acid tastes very similar-lol

don't tell Gilligan to look out for a boat because when a helicopter comes by HE WON'T SAY ANYTHING since he knows the difference between a boat and a helicopter!

When a rock group lands on the island...GIVE THEM THEIR PEACE AND QUIET.

Don't try and make your own fillings for cavities.

If an arrogant producer lands on the island and starts barking orders because he promises to take you back to civilization when his friends show up; tell him to keep his big mouth shut and just take the motor powered rubber raft in which he arrived.

If you're on a mad scientist's island and it's obvious that he lives in a mansion and has frequent contact with civilization for food, equipment, electrical contracting, etc.----stay there! Someone who can rescue you will show up soon. In the meantime, the mad scientist and his assistant are trapped in the bodies of a dog and a cat and you have free run of the place. It's a good permanent structure, more than large enough for all the castaways and there are obviously steaks in the freezer. But, most of all, there was a transmitter somewhere in that house!

A plane that hasn't worked in 30 years can be fixed in just a few days.

Apparently everyone does have a lookalike.

Lagoons are natural magnets for crates or any items lost overboard.

Natives can build outrigger canoes better than castaways can build rafts.

A jungle boy, a lost aviator and a eccentric painter can live on a small island and never see each other. Hmm, I wonder if the jungle boy could've been either Wrongway's or Dubov's son.

I've learned that you can't fly just by gluing bird feathers to some wood and strapping them on your arms.

Thanks a lot, Skipper!
