An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a
stay of execution.
His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he
was feeling worn out and depressed. As soon as he walked through the
door at home, his wife started on him about, 'What time of night to be
getting home is this? Where have you been? Dinner is cold and I'm not
reheating it'. And on and on and on.
Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he
poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in
the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he
dragged himself up the stairs.
While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was
told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay
of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight.
Finally realizing what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to
go up stairs and give him the good news.
As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her
husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.
'They're not hanging Wright tonight,' she said.
He whirled around and screamed,
'FOR GOODNESS SAKE WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?!'
