(girl) "I'm so homesick, I want to return to America ... but all my money was stolen!"
(guy) "You know, I'll take you aboard my ship, you can sail as a stowaway. I'll bring you something to eat every day. And if you're occasionally willing to return the favor ..."
(girl) "Well, if I want to return home, there is nothing else I can do ..."
[and so... The days go by. for weeks ...]
(capt) "Psst, girl ... what are you doing here?"
(girl) "... the guy promised to take me to America as a stowaway. Do you know if we're almost there?"
(capt) "Well, I'm afraid not, girl ... see, you're on a ferry to Texel!"
(to understand the punchline ... Texel is an island off the coast of the Netherlands. Instead of getting on a boat that goes to America, the guy suckered her into getting on the ferry he helps operate that goes back-n-forth between the mainland and the island... hence the weeks that go by w/o getting to America.)
