A lawyer who works in Seattle 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 the
emergency of which he must take care.
So, he tells the maid to go and get the gun from the desk drawer and kill both his wife
and the mailman.
She protests! The lawyer explains that
under Washington State 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 a scream, the sound of two gun shots,
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?"
