From yesterday's Nextdraft newsletter (link):
3 men rescued from Pacific island after writing SOS in sand. (Wait, that actually worked!!?)
I have many memories of that show, and one of the most vivid (why, I have no idea) was a time when they somehow knew an orbiting spacecraft was going to be flying overhead, so they made a huge SOS sign out of logs and set them on fire. Only, Gilligan tripped over the last letter, so the people flying above thought it said SOL and ignored it.
(Just now realized the irony of what the message morphed into, but I don't think that back then anyone used SOL to mean "Shit Outta Luck.")
