Description

You know you should have gotten gas at the station you passed a couple of hours before you ran out. It's been eight days since you took the wrong turn on the way to get help. The last signs of civilization you saw were vapor trails from a jet, but was yesterday morning, or was it the day before? Just a little while ago, you asked that cactus where the drinking fountain was and now all you're thinking about is a tall glass of water. Then, just as you start crawling on hands and knees, you come upon a sight that is quite peculiar in the middle of the summer desert. An old clawfoot bathtub filled to the top with refreshing ice water along with a beautiful blonde woman (Ladies, feel free to insert Brad Pitt, or Orlando Bloom, or the like) holding a glass of champagne. She sits up, saying there's plenty of room for two. You rub your blistered sunburnt forehead and smile with cracked dry lips. Is this real? Mentally, you try to figure the odds of diving in and coming up with a mouthful of hot sand, or actually quenching your thirst.
