This lady who was living in New York City had to get back
to her old
country but she was broke.
One day she wandered down to the docks and spotted a
worker getting
ready to load supplies onto a boat. "Please I need to get
back to
England" she pleaded. "If you sneak me onboard tonight
I'll give
you favors all the way across the ocean."
Well needless to say later that night he put her in a
duffel bag and
carried her onboard. Down in the hold where she was
hidden he said,
"When I bring you some food, twice a day, I'll collect."
And being
true to her word she agreed.
This went on for about a week when by accident the captain
found her.
"Please don't get angry," she started to say and explained
the story to
the captain who busted up laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" she demanded.
He said, "Because you're on the Statten Island Ferry."
