Mark and Michael were identical twins, who would
Confuse many people who did not know them.

Mark owned a disapidated old boat, which sank the same day Michael's wife died.

A few days later, a kind old woman saw Mark and
mistaking him for Michael, said, "I'm sorry to hear
about your loss.  You must just feel so terrible."

Mark, thinking that she was talking about his boat,
replied; "Heck no.  In fact, I'm sort of glad to be
rid of her.  She was a rotten old thing right from the
beginning.  Her bottom was all shriveled up and she
smelled like old dead fish.  She was always losing her
water, and 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

these four guys looking for a good time.  I warned
them that she wasn't very good, but they wanted to useher anyhow.  The fools tried to get in her all at once
and she split right up the middle."

The old lady fainted.
