A farmer and his wife were on their first ocean cruise. They were standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the woman overboard. They searched for days and couldn't find her, So the captain sent the farmer back to Nebraska with the promise that he would notify him as soon as they found something. Three weeks went by and finally the farmer received a fax from the boat. It read: Sir, sorry to inform you, we found your wife at the bottom of the ocean. We hauled her up to the deck and attached to her very most private part was an oyster and inside there was a pearl worth $50,000...please advise. The old man faxed back: Send me the pearl and rebait the trap.
