Joe's Old Boat
They say the happiest days in life are the day you buy a boat and the day you
sell it! Well, here's a good boat story!!
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 from out-of-state 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.
Therefore, Joe did not know that his brother John's wife has died
suddenly that day.
When Joe got back on shore he went into town to pick up a few things
at the grocery store. A kind old neighbor woman 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 an 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 who were looking for a good time. I warned them that she
wasn't very good and smelled bad. But they wanted her anyway. The darn fools
tried to get in her all at one time and she split right up the middle!"
The old woman fainted!
