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

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

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? '#-o
