Twin brothers were named Joe and John. Joe was the owner of an old dilapidated boat. It so happened that John’s wife died the same day Joe’s boat sank.
A few days later, a kindly old lady met Joe on the street and, mistaking him for John, said to him, “I’m sorry for your great loss. You must feel terrible.”
Joe said, “Oh, hell no. Fact is, I’m sort of glad to get rid of her. She was a rotten old thing from the beginning; her bottom was all shriveled up and she smelled like dead fish. She was always losing her water. She had a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front, too. The hole got bigger every time I used her, she leaded like crazy, and it got to be too hard to keep her upright.
“But what really finished her off was those four guys who rented her for a good time. I warned them that she wasn’t any good, but they all wanted to have go with her anyway. The damn fools all tried to get on her at the same time and it was too much for the old girl. While they were trying to get into their various positions, she split right up the middle!”
The old woman fainted. |
