In a trial, a small-town prosecuting attorney called
his first witness, an elderly grandmother 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're a big disappointment to me. You
lie, cheat on your wife, 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 a youngster. He's lazy,
bigoted, and has a drinking problem. He can't build
a normal relationship with anyone and his law
practice is one of the worst in the state. Not to
mention he cheated on his wife with three different
women. One of them was your wife. Yes I know him."
The defence attorney almost died.
The judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench
and in a quiet voice said: "If either of you rascals
asks her if she knows me, I'll send you to the
electric chair ."
