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 round 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 trip to Europe, and
he's screwing me."

"He sure is, lady," the Captain said.  "This is 
the Staten Island Ferry"
