This one is pretty straight forward.

Sailor finds a girl he likes and asks her to marry him. She says no, but I'll sleep with you. Come back tomorrow and I'll put a string around my finger. Pull on the string and I'll come down and let you in.

Well he does the next day, and she is only wearing the string :).
