A bloke's wife goes missing whilst scuba diving reefs off the east coast of Australia. He reports her to the Police as missing, he searches fruitlessly for her, and spends a terrible night worrying about what could have happened to her.
The next morning there's a knock at his door and he opens it to a couple of policemen, an older Sergeant and a young Constable.
The Sergeant says, “Mate, we have some news for you. Unfortunately we have bad news, but also a couple of bits of good news.â€
“I guess I'd better have the bad news firstâ€, says the bloke.
The Sergeant says, “I'm really sorry mate, but your wife's dead. Young Billy here found her wedged in a little cleft in the reef. He got a line around her and we pulled her up, but she was dead mate.â€
The bloke is naturally upset to hear 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 Sergeant says, “Well, when we got your wife up to the boat there were quite a few good-sized lobsters and a bunch of nice crabs attached to her, so we've brought you a share.â€
He hands the bloke a bag with a couple of big lobsters and five crabs in it.
“Gee thanks mate. They're bloody beauties. I guess it's an ill wind and all that..., so what's the other good news?â€
“Wellâ€, the Sergeant says, “If you fancy a quick trip, me and Billy get off duty at 11 o'clock and we're gonna shoot on over to the reef and pull her up again.â€
