The day after his wife disappeared in a boating accident near
Marsh Island, Louisiana, a man answered his door to find
two grim-faced Wildlife and Fisheries agents.
"We know it's late, sir, but we have some information
about your wife," said one of the agents.
"Tell me! Did you find her?"
The agents looked at each other.
Finally, one said, "We have some bad news, some good
news, and some really great news.
Which do you want to hear first?"
Fearing the worst, the husband said "Give me the bad news
first."
The second agent said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this
Morning we found your wife's body in the bay."
"Oh my God!" exclaimed the husband. Swallowing hard, he
asked, "What's the good news?"
The agent continued, "When we pulled her up, she had six
twenty-five pound blue point crabs and four dozen good-size
crawfish clinging to her."
Stunned, the husband demanded, "If that's the good news,
what's the great news?"
The agent answered, "We're gonna pull her up again
tomorrow."
