A
depressed young woman is so desperate that she decides to end her life by throwing herself
into the ocean. When she goes down to the docks, a handsome young sailor notices her
tears, takes pity on her, and says,
"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 slips his arm around her shoulder and
adds, "I'll keep you happy, and you'll keep me happy."
The girl nods 'yes.' After all, what does she have to lose?
That night, the sailor brings her aboard and hides her in a
life-boat. From then on, every night he brings her three sandwiches and a piece of fruit,
and they make passionate love until dawn.
Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she is
discovered by the captain.
"What are you doing here?" the Captain asks.
"I have an arrangement with one of the sailors,"
she explains. "He's taking me to Europe, and he's screwing me."
"He sure is, lady," says the Captain. "This
is the Staten Island Ferry."
