The Execution of James Wright
An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client, James Wright, who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight. The attorney's last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling exhausted and depressed.
As soon as he walked through the door to his home, his wife started on him, "What time of night is this to be getting home? Where have you been? Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it." She went on 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, the wife rushed upstairs to 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.
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?"
