A lawyer who works in Texas gets a call about an emergency which requires him
to immediately fly out of the state for a short period of time. He has no time
to pack, so he calls home to tell his wife he is going.
The maid answers the call, but is quite hesitant about putting his wife on
the phone. After quite a bit of interrogation, she admits that the wife is
upstairs in bed with the mailman! The lawyer is furious, and wants to rush right
home, but of course there is this emergency he must take care of. So instead, he
tells the maid to go get the gun from the desk drawer and kill both his wife and
the mailman. She protests! The lawyer explains that under Texas law it is legal
to kill your adulterous wife and her lover. Using his silver tongue, he finally
convinces her to do it. She puts down the phone, and soon the lawyer hears the
sound of two gun shots, a scream, some loud thumps, and finally, two
splashes.
The maid comes back to the phone. The lawyer asks, "Did you kill them?"
"Yes," she replies.
The lawyer questions her again, "What did you do with the bodies?"
"I threw them in the pool," she responds.
There is a brief pause from the lawyer. He asks her, "Did you say the
pool?"
"Yes! I threw them in the pool!" she says.
"Uh, is this 555-8234?"
