A Bay Fishing Adventure
The day after his wife disappeared in a boating
accident, an Ocean City man answered his door to
find two grim-faced Maryland State Troopers.
"We're sorry Mr. Rice, but we have some information
about your wife," said one trooper.
"Tell me! Did you find her?" Rice 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 Rice 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 the Assawoman Bay near the Rte 90 Bridge."
"Oh my God!" exclaimed Rice. Swallowing hard, he asked, What's the
good news?"
The trooper continued. "When we pulled her up she had
12 huge blue crabs and 6 good-size blue crabs on her."
Stunned, Mr. Rice demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news?"
The trooper said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow".
