"Ya see, ma'am, if you were having an affair -- and I'm not suggesting you were -- then a sky diving accident for your husband might be very convenient. No offense."
"None taken, Lieutenant. In fact, I'll admit to it. You see, I was cheating on my husband."
"Is that a fact?"
"Yes, Lieutenant. But it hardly provides evidence that I caused this accident."
"But it might."
"I don't think so -- you see: my lover was Alexander Chulsky!"
"The sky diving instructor?"
"Yes! So you can imagine I wouldn't want to kill my husband AND my lover."
"Of course not."
"Good day, Lieutenant."
"Good day, Ma'am ... oh, just one more thing, Ma'am?"
"Really, Lieutenant! You try my patience!"
"I'm so sorry, Ma'am. I was just wondering ... How well did you know ... the pilot?"
You nailed it! Very funny.
...”I’m so sorry, Ma’am. I was just wondering ... How well did you know ... the pilot?”
I wonder if the fact that the husband was unusually cautious would have perhaps made him panicky while skydiving and contributed to the accident. Also, does an unusually cautious person make a good real estate investor?
