Joke: The Lawyer and the Execution - 08/05/20
I've decided that I'm not going to work today...
I thought I might try to lighten the mood here on the 'Fire with a little humor. Warning: not new jokes, just a few that make me smile a little!

An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for his client convicted of murder. 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 on and on and on.
Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by his wife’s 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.
He whirled around and screamed, 'For the love of god woman, don't you ever stop?'
