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 the time he got home. "Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it," she said. Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual he went and poured himself a double 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. His 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 realising 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 his rear end... bent over, naked, drying his legs and feet. "They're not hanging Wright tonight," she said. He whirled around and screamed: "For the love of god woman, don't you ever let up?"
