---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ya, I think there was an episode of Gilligan's Island where this happened. Unfortunately the skipper failed to make a deal with the "natives" while the professor was having a bad love affair with Ginger. Somehow through a big jealousy thing with the Chief the treaty was broken off. The Howell's tried to bribe Mary Ann into negotiating a truce but she later decided to sympathize with the natives because political correctness was "in". That's where the big language conflict started because it turned out that the word "peace" translated into a word that means "beans" in their language. Suddenly some character who was never in the plot before mysteriously appeared and everyone became distracted with their ever popular obsession in leaving the island. Unfortunately that was where the show ended leaving a in a major cliff hanger until the next season.
