Moshe the lawyer arrived home at 10pm and opened his front door. He was shattered after a day of trying to get a stay of execution for William Rite. This client of Moshe's was due to be executed for murder at midnight and his last minute plea for clemency had failed. So as he entered his house, Moshe was understandably feeling very tired and depressed.
But when Moshe walked in, there was his Hetty waiting for him. "So what time of night do you call this?" she shouted at him, "Where have you been?"
Too weary to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, Moshe walked past her, went into the front room, poured himself a large whiskey, downed it in one go, then headed upstairs for a relaxing hot bath – all the time pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks.
The phone rang while Moshe was in the bath and when Hetty answered it, she was told that Moshe's client had been granted his stay of execution after all. Quickly realising what a day Moshe must have had, she felt sorry for him and went upstairs to give him the good news. As Hetty opened the bathroom door, all she saw of Moshe was his naked rear view as he was bending over drying his feet. "Theyre not hanging Rite tonight," she said to Moshe.
Immediately, Moshe whirled around and screamed hysterically, "For crying out loud, Hetty, dont you ever stop?"
