The High Diver

The high diver climbed the ladder over 100 feet high
and then proceeded to perform a very graceful swan dive.
Plummeting to the bottom quickly he plunged
into what was supposed to be a slightly dampened sponge.
Upon impact the high diver instantly died
because his girlfriend's jealous husband rung the sponge out bone dry.
The husband has been charged with homicide.
