Classic Gilliganism:
Professor: "In order to make this new coconut-based radio function properly, we need an new receiving antenna installed on top of that coconut tree by the lagoon. In order to properly support it, someone will have to be ambidextrous."
Gilligan: "Yeah, and they have to use both hands,too."

A friendly and charismatic person. They enjoy going out and socialising with other people but are equally content staying indoors with a few close friends. Gilligans often struggle with self confidence issues deep down and often get addicted to a substance to help. This could be as little as a coffee addiction or as extreme as alcoholism or drug abuse. Gilligans are truely supportive friends and if you know a Gilligan in your life you sure are lucky! Just don’t forget to remind them that it’s okay to express how they feel.
