There once was a sheriff who, no matter what the situation,
always said, "It could have been worse" after viewing the scene
of the crime. It drove his two deputies absolutely crazy.
One day, the 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 both
had been shot to death. When the deputies 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' as he always does!"
"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." said the first deputy.
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!"
