OTP: Weekend humor (PG)

There was an old country sheriff who always said, "It
could have been worse." No matter what happened, the old sheriff
always had the same answer: "It could have been worse."

One day, two deputies in the Sheriff's Office answered
an emergency call at a farmhouse. When they walked in, they
found the nude bodies of a man and a woman in the bedroom. They
had been shot to death. When they went to the living room, they
found the body of a man with a gun at his side.

"No doubt about it," one deputy said to the other. "This
was a double murder and suicide. This guy came home and found
his wife in bed with somebody else and shot them both. Then he
shot himself."

"You're right," the other deputy replied. "Double murder
and suicide. But I'll bet you when the sheriff gets here he's
going to say 'it could have been worse."

"No way. How could it be worse? There are three people
in the house, and all of them have been shot to death. It
couldn't be worse. You're on."

About that time, the old sheriff arrived at the scene.
He walked into the bedroom and saw the two nude bodies. He then
walked into the living room and saw the man on the floor with the
gun by his side. "No doubt about it," the sheriff said, shaking
his head. "It was a double murder and suicide. This guy came
home and found his wife in bed with somebody else and shot them
both. Then he shot himself." After hesitating for a moment, the
old sheriff looked his deputies squarely in the eyes. "But, you
know," he said, "it could have been worse."

The deputy who had lost the bet jumped up and shouted,
"Sheriff, how could it have been worse? There are three people in
this farmhouse, and all three of them are dead. It couldn't have
been worse??"

"Yes it could," the sheriff retorted. "You see that guy
there on the floor? If he had come home yesterday, that would be
me in there in that bed!"
