A man hits the bars in San Francisco and decides to walk over the Golden Gate Bridge. In his drunken stupor he gets up on the rails, slips, and falls to his death. The next day his family doesn't know where he is, he doesn't show up to work, and a missing person report is put out. The Coast Guard searches the bay for three days and finally comes upon the body. After pulling the dead man out of the water, they notice that there are four crabs and three lobsters attached to the corpse. After positively identifying the man, the Captain aboard calls up the man's wife and tells her that there is bad news, good news, and really good news.
The wife says "What's the bad news?" The Captain says, "Well
Ma'am, we're very sorry, but we found your husband's body today Ma'am. Your
husband is dead. Very sorry Ma'am." The wife begins sniffling, and says,
"What's the good news then?" The Captain says, "Well your husband's
dead body still brought us some life - there were four crabs and three lobsters
clinging on to him when we brought him up." The wife, somewhat perplexed,
says, "Uh, OK, what's the really good news?" The Captain replies,
"The REALLY good news, Ma'am, is, well - we're going to throw him back
in and pull him up again tomorrow!"
