An attorney got home late one evening...after a very taxing day trying
to get a stay of execution for a client, named William
Wright........who was due to be hanged for murder, at midnight.
His last-minute plea for clemency to the Governor had failed and he
was feeling tired and depressed.
As soon as he got through the door, his wife started on about, 'Do you
realize what time it is? Where have you been?' and on and on and on!
To shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual......he
went and poured himself a very large whisky and headed off for a long
hot soak in the bathtub...pursued by the predictable
sarcastic remarks.
While he was in the bathtub, the phone rang. The wife answered & was
told that her husband's client had been granted his 'Stay of
Execution' after all!
Realizing what a day he must have had, she relented a little and went
up-stairs to give him the good news. As she opened the bathroom door
she was greeted by the
sight of her husband's rear view...as he bent over naked, drying his
legs and feet.
"They're not hanging Wright tonight," she said.
The attorney whirled around and screamed hysterically, "For crying out
loud, woman....don't you ever stop!?!"
