okes wife goes missing while diving off the West Australian Coast he reports the event, searches fruitlessly and spends a terrible night wondering what could have happened to her.Next morning theres a knock at the door and he is confronted by a couple of policemen, the old Sarge and a younger Constable.The Sarge says, Mate, we have some news for you, unfortunately some really bad news, but, some good news, and maybe some more good news.Well, says the bloke, I guess Id better have the bad news first?The Sarge says, Im really sorry mate, but your wife is dead.Young Bill here found her lying at about five fathoms 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 distressed to hear of 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 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 weve brought you your share.He hands the bloke a bag with a couple of nice lobsters and four or five crabs in it.Geez thanks. Theyre bloody beauties. I guess its an ill wind and all that...So whats the other possible good news?Well, the Sarge says, if you fancy a quick trip, me and young Bill here get off duty at around 11 oclock and were gonna shoot over there and pull her up again.
