The Stowaway
A young New York woman was so
depressed that she decided to end her
life by throwing herself into the ocean.
But just before she could throw
herself from the docks, a
handsome young man stopped
her.
"You have so much to live for," said the
man.
"I'm a sailor, and we're off to Europe
tomorrow, and I can stow you away on
my ship.
"I'll take care of you, bring you food
every day, and keep you happy."
With nothing to lose, combined with the
fact that she had always wanted to go to
Europe , the woman accepted.
That night the sailor brought her aboard
and hid her in a small, but comfortable,
compartment in the hold.
From then on, every night he would
bring her three sandwiches and make
love to her until dawn.
Three weeks later she was discovered
by the captain during a routine
inspection.
"What are you doing here?" asked the
captain.
"I have an arrangement with one of
the sailors," she replied.
"He brings food and I get a free trip to
Europe .."
"I see," the captain says.
Her conscience got the best of her and
she added, "plus, he's screwing me."
"He certainly is," replied the captain,
"this is the Staten Island Ferry "
