This is one for Kiwi.
An Aussie guys wife goes missing while they are diving off the West Coast.
He reports the event to the Police, searches fruitlessly himself, and 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 coppers - the old Sarge and a younger Constable.
The Sarge says, “Mate, we have some news for you, unfortunately some really bad news, but also 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, mate, but your wife is dead. Young Bill here found her at about 10 metres, trapped 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 very distressed to hear this and breaks down in tears, absolutely sobbing his heart out.
But after a little while he composes himself, 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 lobsters and a swag of nice crabs attached to her, so we've brought you your share.”
He hands the bloke a bag with a couple of nice lobsters and four or five crabs in it.
“Jeez, thanks! They're bloody beauties mate. 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 out with us, young Bill and I get off duty at around 11 o'clock and we're gonna shoot over there and pull her up again.”
