Hanging

[DMNTD]

An attorney got home late one evening, after a very taxing
day trying to get a stay of execution for a client, James Wright,

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 got through the door at home, his wife started
on him about, "What time of night do you call this? Where

have you been?" and on and on.

Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual,
he went and poured himself a shot of whisky and headed

off for a long hot soak in the bathtub pursued by the

predictable sarcastic remarks.

While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered
and was told that her husband's client had been granted his

stay of execution after all.
Finally realizing what a day he must have had, she decided to
go upstairs to give him the good news.

As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight
of her husband's rear end as he was bent over naked drying his legs
and feet.

"They're not hanging Wright tonight," she said.

He whirled around and screamed,"FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WOMAN,
DON'T YOU EVER STOP!"
