Groaning Oldies

From Friar's Club Encyclopedia of Jokes by Barry Dougherty.

A little old lady is starved for companionship, so she buys a couple of monkeys. The years go by and she becomes very attached to them. As happens, both monkeys die one day. Not wanting to part with them, she takes the dead monkeys to a taxidermist. The taxidermist asks her, “Would you like them mounted?”

The old woman replies, “No, just holding hands.”
