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?!!??"
