A depressed young woman in Seattle suffering from the long rainy winter was so desperate that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean.
When she went down to the docks, a handsome young sailor noticed her tears, took pity on her and said, "Look you've got a lot to live for. I'm off to Australia in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on the ship. I'll take good care of you and bring you food every day." Moving closer, he slipped an arm around her and added, "I'll keep you happy and you'll keep me happy."
The girl nodded. What did she have to lose?
That night, the sailor covered her with a blanket, took her aboard and hid her in a life boat.
From then on, every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece of fruit.
They made passionate love until dawn.
Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the captain.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I had an arrangement with one of the sailors," she explained.
"He's taking me to Australia, and every night he came and screwed me."
"He sure did lady," said the captain.
"This is the Bremerton Ferry."
