When someone is asked if they were stranded on a deserted island, what one item would they want... why doesn't anyone ever choose 'a boat'?

I guess because that's not really the purpose of the exercise, Master Oogway.

wiserthanusall June 12 2010, 20:30:16 UTC

No? What then is the purpose, young Leonardo?

It's more of a social question, isn't it? To find out what things you like the best. Not really a mental exercise or anything.

Ah, but so too is an axe used for chopping wood in times of peace. Not everything has only one use.

Not everybody knows what a boat is.

[Simba sure didn't, before he came to Elegante.]

Ah, but then I must ask the question; how did you get to the island in the first place?

:> gonnabeamighty June 13 2010, 01:47:40 UTC

...I dunno. You swam?

wiserthanusall June 13 2010, 02:07:35 UTC

If you could simply swim away, then you would not be trapped there!

Because what good's a boat without a map?

wiserthanusall June 13 2010, 01:42:28 UTC

Ah, but what good is a map when you have nowhere to go?

Story of my fraggin' life, tortoise thing.

That's kinda spooky, how you did that. [Is impressed.]

[He chuckles at that]

I am called Oogway. Wisdom comes to those who wait- I have waited a very long time.

Why have a boat when you could have like, a plane?

Or a jetpack!

You know, I've never thought of dat.

[Because he doesn't know what either of those things are. Oogway is from ancient China.]
