Boating accident Paddy and Mary divorced a year ago. Paddy was boating with his son Michael when a storm came up and they both drowned. Officer Murphy had to tell Mary the news. ""Well, Mary I have good news and bad news."" ""Give me the bad news first."" ""Your ex has drowned in a boating accident."" ""He was a miserable son of a bitch, but at least he made the child support payments on time."" ""Well the good news is you won't be needing the child support anymore.""
