When I was growing up, I had identical twin cousins. I was always fascinated with the options that I saw them as having. For example, they could have attended class for each other, played tricks on people, etc…It seemed like something that would be a lot of fun to a mischievous little me. However, as far as I know, those two nice girls never took part in shenanigans like this. I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t have a twin. I never could tell them apart and neither could anyone else in the family. They still look exactly alike, in fact. One thing that happens to all identical siblings is the case of mistaken identity. I’m sure it’s so commonplace that they grow accustomed to it. In the joke below, it takes a hilarious turn. Enjoy this funny joke!
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 had died suddenly that day.
When Joe 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.’
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, the 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.
