Missing Wife Found - An Alaskan Story
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 of the troopers.
Wilkens exclaimed, "Tell me! Did you find her?!"
The troopers looked at each other. One said, "We have some bad news, some good news and some really great news.
Which would you like to hear first?"
Fearing the worst, 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 Kachemak Bay ."
Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good news?"
The trooper continued,"When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five-pound king crabs and 6 good-sized 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, then what's the great news?"
The trooper replied, "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow.”
