Miscommunication - excellent example

There were these twins, Jim and John. Jim was the owner of an old
dilapidated boat. It just so happened that John's wife died the same day
Jim's boat sank. A few days later, a kindly old woman saw Jim and
mistaking him for John said "I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You must
feel terrible."

Jim, thinking she was talking about his boat said "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 an old dead fish.
She was always losing her 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 these four guys looking for a good time. I
warned them she wasn't very good, but they wanted to use her anyhow. The
fools all tried to get in her at once and she split right up the
middle." The old woman fainted.
