When Grandma Goes To Court
Lawyers should never ask a Southern
grandma a question if they aren't
prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a southern small-town
prosecuting attorney called his first
witness, a grand-motherly, elderly woman
to the stand.
He approached her and asked,
"Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded,
"Why, yes,
I do know you, Mr.Williams.
I've known you since you were a young boy,
and frankly, you've been a big
disappointment to me.
You lie, you cheat on your wife,
and you manipulate people and talk
about them behind their backs.
You think you're a big shot when you
haven't the brains to realize you
never will amount to anything more
than a two-bit paper pusher.
Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what
else to do, he pointed across the room
and asked,
"Mrs. Jones,
do you know the defense attorney?"
She again replied,
"Why, yes, I do.
I've known Mr. Bradley since he was
youngster, too. He's lazy,bigoted,
and he has a drinking problem.
He can't build a normal relationship
with anyone and his law practice is
one of the worst in the entire state.
Not to mention he cheated on his wife
with three different women.
One of them was your wife.
Yes, I know him."
The judge asked both counselors to
approach the bench and, in a very
quiet voice, said,
"If either of you idiots asks her
if she knows me,
I'll send you to the
electric chair."
