A bloke's wife goes missing while holidaying on the West
Australian coast while they were diving, he spends a terrible night
wondering what could have happened to her.
Next morning there's a knock at the door and he is confronted
by a couple of policemen, the old Sarge and a younger Constable.The
Sarge says..."Mate, we have some news for you, unfortunately some
really bad news, but, some good news, and maybe some more good
news".
"Well," says the bloke..."I guess I'd better have the bad news
first?"
The Sarge says..."I'm really sorry pal, but your wife is dead,
young Bill here found her lying at about five fathoms in a little
cleft in the reef, he got a line around her and we pulled her up,
but she was dead."
The bloke is naturally pretty distressed to hear of this and has a
bit of a turn, but after a few minutes he pulls himself together
and asks what the good news is.
The Sarge says..."Well when we got your wife up there were quite a
few really good sized crays and a swag of nice crabs attached to
her, so we've brought you your share." He hands the bloke a sugar
bag with a couple of nice crays and four or five crabs in it.
"Geez thanks...They're bloody beauties. I guess it's an ill wind
and all that...... So what's the other possible good news?
"Well", the Sarge says..."if you fancy a quick trip, me and young
Bill here get off duty at around 11 o'clock and we're gonna shoot
over there and pull her up again...
