He opens it to find two sheriff's deputies there. He asks if there is a problem. 

 

One of the deputies asks if he is married. 

 

The man says "Yes, I am". 

 

The deputy then asks if he could see a picture of the man's wife. 

 

The guy says "Sure" and gets a photo to show them. 

 

The deputy says "I'm sorry, sir. But it looks like your wife's been hit by a truck". 

 

The guy replies "Oh I know, but she has a great personality and is an excellent cook".
