That's It! I'm
There was an attorney who got home late one evening after a very taxing day
trying to get a stay of execution for a client, named
Wilbur Wright, who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight. His
last-minute plea for clemency to the state governor had failed and he was
feeling tired and depressed. As soon as he got through the door his wife
started on about,"What time of night do you call this? Where the hell have
you been?" and so on. Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar
ritual, he went and poured himself a very large whisky and headed off to the
bathroom for a long hot soak -- pursued by the predictable sarcastic
remarks.
While he was in the bath the phone rang, which the wife answered, to be 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 upstairs 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 naked over the bath cleaning the tub. "They're not hanging Wright
tonight," she said. The attorney whirled 'round and shouted hysterically,
"For crying out loud. Don't you ever stop?"
