Attorney

[Martin]

An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a

stay of execution for a client 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 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 went

and 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

upstairs 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, to which he whirled

around and screamed, "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP"??
