A few days after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, a Twillingate, Newfoundland man answered his door to find two grim-faced Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers.
"We're sorry to intrude Mr. Flynn, but we have some information about your missing wife". "Tell me! Did you find her?!" Cedric Flynn asked.
One of the officers said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some very good news". Fearing the worst, Mr. Flynn said, "Give me the bad news first."
The RCMP officer said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in the bay."
"Lord sufferin' Jesus!" exclaimed Flynn. What could possibly be the good news?"
The officer continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 of the best looking Atlantic Lobster that you have ever seen clinging to her. We haven't seen lobsters like that since the 60’s, and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch."
Stunned, Mr. Flynn demanded, "If that's the good news, then what's the very good news?"
The officer replied.................. "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow."
