Naked In the Jungle
If I were naked in the jungle, I would be facing certain doom.
I will stay within the confines of my own bedroom.
How does one survive during those days and nights?
Men and women deal with scorpion stings and mosquito bites.
There they are along the Amazon in South America.
Would it be better north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska?
The late Art Linkletter said “People are funny”.
This is actually what some people will do to win money.
I could not put myself in their places. I would not get far.
If this is television, I would rather see reruns of “My Mother the Car”.
