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 sorta 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.
