Wife Drawned in the Bay

The day after a man lost his wife in a boating accident, he was
greeted by two grim-faced policemen at his door. "We're sorry to
call on you at this hour, Mr. Wilkens, but we have some
information about your wife." "Well, tell me!" the man said.


The policeman said, "We have some bad news, some good news and
some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Fearing the worst, Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news
first." So the policeman said, "I'm sorry to tell you sir, but
this morning we found your wife's body in San Francisco Bay."


"Oh my god!" said Mr. Wilkens, overcome by emotion. Then,
remembering what the policeman had said, he asked, "What's the
good news?" "Well," said the policeman, "When we pulled her up
she had two five-pound lobsters and a dozen good size Dungeness
crabs on her."


"If that's the good news than what's the great news?!" Mr.
Wilkens demanded. The policeman said, "We're going to pull her
up again tomorrow morning."
