It depends on you point of view
The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident off the coast of Maine,
a man answered his door to find two grim-faced State Troopers. "We know it's late, sir,
but we have some information about your wife," said one of the Troopers.
Tell me! Did you find her?" the husband 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, the ashen husband said "Give me the bad news first."
The second Trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we
found your wife's body in the bay."
"Oh my God!" exclaimed the husband.
Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good news?"
The Trooper continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 6 twenty-five pound
snow crabs and 12 good-size lobsters clinging to her."
Stunned, the husband demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news???"
The Trooper answered, "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow."
