[Rhodes22-list] Re: Ferry joke

[Lou Rosenberg]

A young woman in New York 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 have so much 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? Perhaps a fresh start in Europe 
would give her life new meaning.

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 mad 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 certainly is," the captain said.

"This is the Staten Island Ferry."
