Identical Twins

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 ended up sinking it. He spent all day trying to
salvage as much stuff as he could from the sunken vessel and was out of
touch all that day and most of the evening. Unbeknownst to him, his
brother John's wife had died suddenly in his absence.
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 that she 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.
