The day after a man lost his wife in a scuba diving accident, he wasgreeted by two grim-faced policemen at his door.
"We’re sorry to call on you at this hour, Mr. Williams, but we have someinformation about your wife."
"Well, tell me!" the man said.
The policeman said, "We have some bad news, some good news and some reallygreat news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Fearing the worse, Mr. Williams said, "Give me the bad news first."
So the policeman said, "I’m sorry to tell you sir, but this morning wefound your wife’s body in San Francisco Bay."
"Oh my god!, " said Mr. Williams, overcome by emotion. Then, remembering whatthe policeman had said, he asked, "What’s the good news?"
"Well, " said the policeman, "When we pulled her up she had two five-poundlobsters and a dozen good sized Dungeoness crabs on her."
"If that’s the good news than what’s the great news?!" Mr. Williams demanded.
"We’re going to pull her up again tomorrow morning."
