Joe and John
Joe and John were identical twins. Joe owned an old dilapidated boat and kept pretty
much to himself. One day he rented out his boat to a group of out-of-staters who sank
it. Joe spent all day trying to salvage as much stuff as he could and was out of touch all that day and most of the evening.
Unbeknownst to him, his brother John's wife died suddenly. When he got back on
shore he went into town to pick up a few things at the grocery. A kind old woman
there mistook him for John and said: "I'm so sorry for your loss. You must feel
terrible."
Joe, thinking she was talking about his boat said: "Hell no! Fact is I'm sort of glad to
be rid of her. She was a rotten old thing from the beginning. Her bottom was all
shriveled up and she smelled like old dead fish. She was always holding water. She had
a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front too. Every time I used her,
her hole got bigger and she leaked like crazy. I guess what finally finished her off
was when I rented her to those four guys looking for a good time. I warned them that
she wasn't very good and smelled bad. But they wanted her anyway. The damn fools
tried to get in her all at one time and she split right up the middle..."
The old woman fainted.
