The Missing Wife

[Rotorwork]

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, a Brisbane man answered his door to find two grim-faced Police. "We're sorry Mr. Wilkens, but we have some information about your wife", said one of the police.

 

"Tell me! Did you find her?", Wilkens exclaimed. The police looked at each other. One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news.

 

Which would you like to hear first?" Fearing the worst, Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news first." The officer said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in Morton Bay." "Oh my God!", exclaimed Wilkens.

 

Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good news?" The police officer continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five-pound king crabs and 6 good-sized Mud crabs clinging to her, and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch."

 

Stunned, Mr. Wilkens demanded, "If that's the good news, then what's the great

 

news?"

 

The officer replied, "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow."
