Easy Way Out

“So let me get this straight,” the prosecutor says to the defendant, “You came home from work and found your wife in bed with a strange man.”
 

“That’s correct,” says the defendant.
 

“Upon which,” continues the prosecutor, “You take out a pistol and shoot your wife, killing her.”

“That’s correct,” says the defendant.
 

“Then my question to you is, why did you shoot your wife and not her lover?” asked the prosecutor.

“It seemed easier,” replied the defendant, “Than shooting a different man every day!”
