Attorney’s Tough Day

Had shared this fun giggle a few years ago but when I received it from Meredith's Jack, decided it was too good not to share again. Enjoy! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An attorney arrived home late one night, after a very tough day trying to get his client a stay of execution.  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:  'What time of night to be getting home is this?  Where have you been?  Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'.  And she carried on and on in this tone.


Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he poured himself a stiff drink and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks of his wife 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 that night.


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, back toward her, 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 STOP?”
