Texas Killing! A lawyer from Texas got news of an out-of-town emergency that required him to fly out of state for a few days. He didn't even have time to pack, so he called home to tell his wife he was going. The maid answered. She was hesitant to put his wife on the phone. After some cajoling, she admitted his wife was home and was upstairs in bed with the mailman. The lawyer was furious, and would have rushed right home, but the emergency took precedence. So he told his maid to go upstairs, get his gun out of the desk drawer and to blow away his wife and the mailman. The maid freaked out and said she couldn't do it. But the silver-tongued lawyer explained that under Texas law, it is legal to kill your adulterous wife and her lover if you catch them in the act. With that, he again asked her to go and get his gun and blow both of them away out of respect for him. She agreed and put the phone down. The lawyer could hear the sound of two gun shots, some loud thumps, and finally two splashes. The maid picked the phone back up. "Did you kill them ?" the lawyer asked. "Yes", the maid replied. "What did you do with the bodies?" "I threw them in the pool." (PAUSE) "Pool?...Is this 555-8234?"
