For
the Seafood Lover in You
When
Mr.. Wilkins answered the door late in the evening one day after he'd
lost his wife scuba diving, he was greeted by two grim-faced policemen.
"We're sorry to call on you at this hour, Mr. Wilkins, but we have
some information about your wife."
"Well...tell me!" he demanded.
The policeman said, "We have some bad news, some pretty good news,
and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Fearing
the worse, Mr. Wilkins said, "Give me the bad news first."
So the
policeman said, "I'm sorry to tell you sir, but we found your wife's
body this morning in the bay."
"OH MY GOD!," said Mr. Wilkins, 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 two five-pound lobsters and a dozen good-sized crabs
on her."
"Huh?" he said, not understanding. "So, what's the great
news?"
The policeman smiled, licked his chops, and said, "We're going to
pull her up again tomorrow morning!" |
