Australian Humour
A bloke's wife goes missing while on a scuba diving holiday. He 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 pretty
sorry looking policemen, the old Sarge and a younger Constable.
The Sarge says, "Mate, we have some news for you, some really bad news,
but, some good news and some really good news".
Well?" says the bloke, "You'd better let me have it both barrels, what's
the bad news?"
"The Sarge says, "I'm really sorry pal 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 pretty distressed to hear this and has a bit of a
turn. 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 crayfish and a swag of crabs in and around her
wetsuit, so we've brought you your share." And he hands the bloke a bag
with a couple of nice crays and four or five crabs in it.
"Geez thanks. They're bloody beaut; 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 go off duty at around 11
o'clock and we're gonna shoot over there and pull her up again!"
