A Salty Nautical Tale

2/10/2010

0 Comments

 
There were two twin brothers named Joe and John. Joe was an old salt and was the owner of a dilapidated old boat. It came to pass that John's lovely wife died the same day that Joe's boat sank in San Francisco Bay.

A few days later a kindly old lady met Joe on the street and mistaking him for John said, "I am sorry for your great loss. You must feel terrible."

"Ohhh, Hell NO!," replied Joe. "Fact is I'm sorta glad to get rid of her. She was a rotten old thing from the beginning. Her bottom was all shriveled up, she smelled like a dead fish, and she was always losing her water. She had a crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front too. The hole got bigger every time I used her and she leaked like crazy. After a while, it got hard to keep her upright."

"But what really finished her off was these four tough guys who rented her for a good time," Joe continued. "I warned them that she wasn't any good, but they all wanted a go with her anyway. The dammed 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 various positions, she split right up the middle."

The old woman fainted!
