The day after his mother in-law disappeared in a kayaking accident,
An Anchorage man answered his door to find two grim faced Alaska
State Troopers.
"We're sorry Mr. Wilkins, but we have some information about
your Mother in-law," said one trooper.

"Tell me! Did you find her?" Wilkins asked.

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. Wilkins said, "Give me the
bad news first."

The trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we
found your mother in-law’s body in Kachemak Bay."

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Wilkins. 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 size Dungeness crabs clinging to her."

Stunned, Mr. Wilkins demanded,
"If that's the good news, what's the great news?"

The trooper said....
“Well, here’s your share, we set her again & we're going to pull her up again tomorrow!â€
