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 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."


Cheers and Happy New Year
