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 THE LOVE OF
GOD WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?!'
