wife in boating accident
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 Big Lake."
"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 3 dozen of the biggest blue crabs you ever saw."
"If that's the good news than what's the great news?!", Mr. Wilkens
demanded.
The policeman replied, "We're going to run her again tomorrow
morning."
