| why does this sound familiar |
|
An attorney 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 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 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 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? Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.
Also appears 9/10 of stopping is stopping in time
