A young woman in Glasgow was so depressed that she decided to end her
life
by throwing herself into the Clyde. She went down to the docks and
was
about to leap into the freezing 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 America 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?
Perhaps a Fresh start in America 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.
Two 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 America, and he's screwing me."
"He certainly is," the captain said.
"This is the Renfrew Ferry."
