A young blonde woman, down on her luck, decided to end it all one night
By throwing herself into the cold, dark waters of Fremantle Harbour.
As she stood on the edge of the dock, pondering the infinite, a young
sailor noticed her as he strolled by. "You're not thinking of jumping,
are you?" he asked. "Yes, yes I am," replied the sobbing girl.
Putting his arm around her, the kind sailor coaxed her back from the
edge. "Look, nothing's worth that. I tell you what; I'm sailing off for
Europe tomorrow. Why don't you stow away on board and start a new life
over there? I'll set you up in one of the lifeboats on the deck, bring
you food and water every night. I'll look after you, if you 'LOOK AFTER
ME', if you know what I mean!"
The girl, having no better prospects, agreed and the sailor smuggled her
on board that night. For the next 3 weeks the sailor would come to her
lifeboat every night, bringing food and water, and make love to her
until dawn.
Then, during the fourth week, the captain was performing a routine
inspection of the ship and it's lifeboats. He peeled back the cover to
find the startled young woman and demanded an explanation.
The young woman came clean. "I've stowed away to get to Europe," she
said. "One of the sailors is helping me out. He set me up in here and
brings me food and water every night ... and he's SCREWING ME!"
The puzzled captain stared at her for a moment before a small grin
cracked his face and he said, "He sure is, darling, this is the Rottnest
Ferry."
