A young New York woman was so depressed she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. Just before she could throw herself from the the docks, a handsome young man stopped her. "You have so much to live for," he said. "I'm a sailor and we are off to Italy tomorrow. I can stow you away on my ship. "I'll take care of you, bring you food every day, and keep you happy. When we get to Italy, you will be SO GLAD you're alive." With nothing to lose and always wanting to see Italy, she accepted.
That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a small but comfortable compartment in the ship's hold. From then on, every night he would bring her sandwiches, a bottle of red wine, and make love to her until dawn.
Two 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 a sailor," she replied. "He brings me food and I get a free trip to Italy." "I see," the captain said. Then her conscience got the best of her, "Plus, he's screwing me."
"He certainly is, replied the captain, "This is the Staten Island Ferry."

LOL!
I was wondering what century this two week cruise to Italy was taken! A two week cruise on the Staten Island ferry is too funny! Smooth talking sailor!
