An elderly couple were on a cruise and it was really
stormy. They were standing on the back of the boat
watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the
old woman overboard. They searched for days and
couldn't find her, so the captain sent the old man
back to shore with the promise that he would notify
him as soon as they found something.
Three weeks went by and finally the old man got a
fax from the boat. It read: "Sir, sorry to inform you,
we found your wife dead at the bottom of the ocean. We
hauled her up to the deck and attached to her butt
was an oyster and in it was a pearl worth $50,000 . .
please advise."
The old man faxed back: "Send me the pearl and re-bait
the trap."
