EX WIFE GETS CRABS
A bloke's ex wife goes missing when holidaying on the Barrier Reef while she was scuba diving.
He reports it to the police & spends the 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 some news for you, unfortunately some really bad news, but some good news and maybe some really good news."
"Well," says the bloke, "I guess I'd better have the bad news first"
The Sarge says, "I'm really sorry pal, but your ex 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 pretty distressed to hear of this and has a bit of a sob...
After a few minutes he pulls himself together and asks what the good news is.
The Sarge says, "Well when we got your ex wife up there were quite a few really good sized crayfish and a swag of nice mudcrabs attached to her wetsuit, so we've brought you your share." He hands the bloke a sugar bag with a couple of nice crays and four or five mudcrabs in it.
"Geez thanks. They're bloody beauties. I guess it's an ill wind and all that ... Now, what's the really good news?"
"Well," the Sarge says, "me and young Bill here get off duty at around 11 o'clock and we're gonna shoot over there and pull her up again! You fancy grabbin some beers and comin' with us?"
