A Liverpool Love story
>
> 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."
