Breaking the news is worth a beer

Steve, Dingo, puttzle and the Mayor are surfing Old Man's when Steve suddenly is attacked and is killed instantly by a shark

After the coroner leaves with Steves body the Mayor volunteers to tell Steve's wife the terrible news. Some two hours later the Mayor returns to the Old Man's with a six-pack of beer under his arm.

Dingo ask's the Mayor, where did you get the six-pack?

The Mayor replied, Steves wife gave it to me.

What! You just told her that Steve was killed by a shark and she gave you a six-pack?

Well , before I broke the news I asked her if she was Steves widow. And, she said she wasn't, so I said I'd bet her a six-pack she was!

Sad thing is, Dingo, Puttzle and the Mayor were given tickets for drinking beer on the beach by Officer Doug.
