An elderly couple were on a cruise, and it was really stormy. While they were standing in the back of the boat watching the waves, a big wave came up and washed the old woman overboard. They searched for days but couldn't find her, so the captain sent the old man ashore with the promise that he would notify him as soon as he found something.
Three weeks later the old man received a FAX from the boat reading, "Sir, sorry to inform you we found your wife dead at the bottom of the ocean. When we hauled her up to the deck we found an oyster attached to her butt. When we opened the oyster we found it contained a pearl valued at $50,000. Please advise."
The old man FAXed them back, "Send me the pearl and re-bate the trap."
