A young woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing
herself into the ocean. She went down to the docks and was about to leap
into the frigid water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the
edge of the pier crying.
He took pity on her and said, "Look, you've got a lot to live for. I'm
off to Europe in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on my
ship. I'll take good care of you and bring you food every day." Moving
closer he slipped his arm around her shoulder and added, "I'll keep you
happy, and you'll keep me happy." The girl nodded yes. After all, what did
she
have to lose? That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a
lifeboat.
>From then on every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece of
fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn.
Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by
the captain.
"What are you doing here?" the Captain asked.
"I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she explained. "I get
food and a free trip to Europe, and in return, he's screwing me."
"He sure is, lady," the Captain said. "This is the Staten Island
Ferry." |
