Bait

A man loses his wife in a freak scuba-diving accident and police aren�t able to recover the body.


The next day, he gets a knock at the door and is greeted by two solemn police officers. �Sorry to bother you, sir,� one says. �But we have some information about your wife.�


�Well, tell me!� the man cries.


The policeman says, �We have some bad news, some good news and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?�


The man chooses the bad first, so the policeman explains, �I�m sorry to tell you, but we found your wife�s body this morning at the bottom of the bay.�


�Oh, my God,� the man cries, but then remembers what the policeman had said. �So what�s the good news?�


�Well,� says the policeman, �when we pulled her up, she had two five-pound lobsters and a dozen good sized Dungeness crabs on her.�


�If that�s the good news, what�s the great news?� the man demands.


The policeman explains, �We�re going to pull her up again tomorrow!�
