A young woman in Liverpool was so depressed that she decided to end her
life by throwing herself into the Mersey. 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
Birkenhead Ferry."
