Mel had been in the Nuclear Reactors business for 25 plus years. Finally sick of the stress he retires from his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alaska as far from humanity as possible; no NASCAR there.
He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet.
After six months or so, of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door. He opens it and a short stocky, bearded man is standing there.
"Name's Herb, your neighbor from forty miles up the road. Having a Christmas party Friday night... Thought you might like to come. About 5:00."
"Great", says Mel, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
As Herb is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you......be some drinkin'."
"Not a problem" says Mel. "After 25 plus years in the business, I can drink with the best of 'em."
Again, Herb starts to leave and stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too."
"Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right. I'll be there, Thanks again."
"More'n likely be some wild sex, too,"
"Now that's really not a problem" says Mel, warming to the idea "I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"
"Don't much matter ..... Just gonna be the two of us."
