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. Wilkens, but we have some information about your wife," said one trooper.
"Tell me! Did you find her?" Wilkens shouted.
The troopers looked at each other. One finally said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really-really great news. Which do you want first?
Fearing the worst, a worried Mr. Wilkens 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 the bottom of Kachemak Bay .'
"Oh my God!" exclaimed Wilkens. Swallowing hard, he asked, Then what's the good news?"
The trooper continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five pound king crabs and 6 good-size Dungeness crabs clinging to her and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch."
Stunned, Mr. Wilkens demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the really great news?"
The trooper said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow."
