He lifted his chin and gazed up to the ceiling as he cried out, “Hey up there! Have I done something to piss you off?”

Then readdressing me in that same exasperated tone he added, “It’s the name of a character on a television show.”

He paused to see if I was catching on; I wasn’t, so he continued.

“Where their small boat, the S.S. Minnow, was hit by a storm at sea…”

Again, he paused while watching for any hint of a light going on inside my head.

“…with a bunch of passengers?”

Another pause.

“They ended up marooned on a tropic island for years.”
