Mike’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!!
Mike and John were identical twins. Mike 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. Mike 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, Mike did not know that his brother
John’s wife had died suddenly that day.
When Mike got back on shore he went into town to pick up a few things
at the grocery. A kind old neighbor woman mistook him for John and
said:
‘I’m so sorry for your loss. You must feel terrible.’
Mike, thinking she was talking about his boat said: ‘ Well 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 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.
