A bloke's wife goes missing while they are reef diving off the West
Australian Coast.

He radios in to report the event, searches fruitlessly round the reef for
some hours, then goes home 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
policemen, an old Sarge and a younger Constable.

The Sarge says ''Mate, we have news for you! Unfortunately some really bad
news, but some better news, and maybe something to cheer you up.''
''OK,'' says the bloke, ''I guess I know, but I'll have the bad news
first''

The Sarge says ''I'm really sorry mate, but your wife is a goner. Young
Bill here found her stuck at about five fathoms in a little cleft in the
reef. He got a line around her and we pulled her up, but she had been dead
for quite a while.''

The bloke is naturally distressed to have his worst fears realized, but
takes it quite well.

After a few moments he pulls himself together and asks what the better 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 hanging on to her, so
we've brought you some for your barbie.''

He hands the bloke a bag with a couple of nice lobsters and half a dozen
large crabs in it.

''Jeez thanks, Sarge! They're bloody beauts. I guess it's an ill wind and
all that. So what else might cheer me up?''

''Well,'' the Sarge says ''if you fancy a quick trip, me and young Bill here
get off duty in an hour's time and we're gonna shoot over there and pull her
up again.'’
