A little of that dry Yankee humor.  This story is from a friend in
Maine.  (Does netland extend to sites in Maine?)

			Fisherman's Paradise 

Twin brothers were named Joe and John Jones.  The single brother was the proud
owner of a dilapidated rowboat.  It happened that John's wife died the same
day that Joe's boat sank.  A few days later a kindly old lady met Joe on the
street and mistaking him for John said, "Oh, Mr. Jones, I'm sorry to hear about
your great loss.  You must feel terrible!"

Then Joe spoke up saying, "Well, I'm not in the least bit sorry.  She was
a rotten old thing from the beginning.  Her bottom was all shriveled up and
she smelt like a dead fish, and even the first time I got into her she made
water faster than anything I had ever seen.  She had a bad crack in the back
and a pretty big hole in the front.  The hole got bigger every time I used
her and she leaked like anything.  But this is what finished her:
Four guys from the other side of town looking for a good time asked if I 
would rent her to them.  I warned them that she wasn't so hot, but they 
said they would take a crack at her anyhow.  The result was the crazy fools
all tried to get into her at one time and it was too much for her. She
cracked down the middle."

The old lady fainted.
