A Lawyers Own Trials

[Gad]

A lawyer 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. He was

feeling worn out and depressed.

As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him

about, "What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you

been? Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it". And on, 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 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 condemned client, James Wright, had been granted a

stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight!

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, 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 STOP?"
