A young blonde woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself from the Bourne Bridge . She was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the bridge, 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 and you can start a new life in Europe ... I'll take good care of you and bring you food everyday."

"How can I repay you for such kindness?" she asked.

"Just let me make love to you each night..." The blonde agreed. 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, who's stowed me away" she explained "I get food and free passage to Europe and he's screwing me".

"He certainly is", the captain said. "This is the Martha's Vineyard ferry."
