Morbid but funny (to me at least) Joke

[decapoddiver]

The day after his dive buddy disappeared off Cape Ann a man answered his door to find two grim-faced MA State Troopers.
"We're sorry Mr. Wilkens, but we have some information about your buddy," said one Trooper.
"Tell me! Did you find him?" Wilkens 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 Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news first."
The Trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your buddy's body on the bottom of the harbor.
"Oh no" exclaimed Wilkens. Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good news?"
The Trooper continued. "When we pulled him up he had four 5-pound lobsters and six good size scallops on his body."
Stunned, Mr. Wilkens demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news?"
The Trooper said, "We're going to pull him up again tomorrow."

Do they just grab the dive flag to get him off the bottom like the commercial guy's do?

I got pulled up by the dive flag about two years ago by the Harbormaster. He wanted to tell me "I was worried you might get hurt if you got too close to the channel".
I asked him what he thought would have happened if I hadn't let go of the 50' flag line that he had cleated off to his boat. "I don't know. I only pulled it up because you didn't respond to my banging on the boat." ...sigh...

I've heard it before but this is the best variation (it's the guy's wife sometimes.)

The last line is supposed to be: "We're going to pull him up again tomorrow and would like to invite you over for beer."
