The sun is supposed to break through the fog, haze, clouds and rainstorms this week. In the meantime, here’s a joke to put a smile on your face.
A blonde was feeling so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the Puget Sound. She went down to the docks and was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young man saw her teetering on the edge of the pier crying.
He took pity on her and said, ‘Listen, you’ve got a lot to live for.. I’m off to Europe 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 around her shoulder and added with a wink, ‘I’ll make you happy, and you can make me happy.’
The blonde nodded ‘yes’ through her tears. After all, what did she have to lose?
That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat, along with blankets and food. From then on, every night he brought her sandwiches, water, wine and fruit and they would make mad, passionate love until dawn.
Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the Captain.
‘What in the heck are you doing here?’ the Captain demanded angrily.
‘I have an arrangement with one of the crew,’ she explained. ‘I get free food and a trip to Europe . Meanwhile (she says coyly) he’s taking advantage of me so to speak (wink, wink).’
‘He sure is, lady,’ the Captain said, ‘This is the Bremerton Ferry.’
