The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, an Anchorage man
answered his door to find two grim faced Alaska State Troopers.

"We're sorry Mr. Wilkins, but we have some information about your wife",
said one of the troopers.

"Tell me! Did you find her?" Wilkins exclaimed.


The troopers 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, the ashen Mr. Wilkins said, "Give me the bad news
first."

The trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found
your wife's body in Kachemak Bay."

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Wilkins. Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good
news?"

The trooper continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five-pound
king crabs and 6 good-sized Dungeness crabs clinging to her, and we feel you
are entitled to a share in the catch."

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

The trooper replied, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow.
