"Hanging Wright" joke

Will came home dejected because a boyhood friend was about to be executed for murder, but his mood wasn't improved when his bitchy wife started berating him after dinner for one thing after another. "Thats enough!" he finally announced. "Poor Sam Wright is going to die tonight, and all you can do is yell at me. I'm going upstairs."
Alone, watching TV, the woman had begun to regret her conduct when a newscaster reported that the condemned man had been given a final reprieve. She hurried upstairs, heard water running, burst into the bathroom and yanked open the shower-stall door and shouted, "They're not hanging Wright tonight!"
"Good god, woman!" Shouted back her husband, "Isn't there anything about me that satisfies you?"
