The Nagging Wife
NAG NAG NAG!
An attorney arrived home late, after a very toughday 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,
'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have youbeen?' '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 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. 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.
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?
