An attorney arrived home late, after a tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client due to be hanged. His plea for clemency had failed and he was feeling depressed. As he walked through the door, his wife started on him, "Why are you so late? Where were you?†And on and on.
Too shattered to play this game, he poured himself a double whiskey and headed for a soak in the bathtub, pursued by the usual sarcasm as he drug himself upstairs.
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.
Realizing what a hard day he had, she went to give him the news. As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of his rear, 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 LET UP?
