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.»
