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, please! Did you find her?" Wilkens shouted. The troopers looked at each other. One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?” Fearing the worst, an ashen 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 Prince William Sound." "Oh. my God!" exclaimed Wilkens. Swallowing hard, he asked, "Well, what's the good news?" The trooper continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five pound king crabs a 5 gallon buckets worth of shrimp and 6 good-size Dungeness crabs clinging to her and we feel that you are entitled to a share in the catch." Stunned, Mr. Wilkens demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news?" The trooper said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow."
