An attorney telephoned the governor just after midnight, insisting that he talk to him regarding a matter of utmost urgency.
An aide eventually agreed to wake up the governor.

The governor replied:
“Well, it’s OK with me if it’s OK with the undertaker.”

The plumber quietly replied, “Neither did I when I was a lawyer.”
