When Grandma Goes To Court,
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney
called his first witness, a grandmother, elderly woman
to the stand. he approached her and asked, “Mrs.Jones, do
you know me?” She responded, “Why, yes, I know you Mr.Williams.
I’ve known you since you were a 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’ll never amount to anything more then a two bit
paper pusher. Yes, i know you.”
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing waht 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, too. he’s lazy, bigoted and he has a drinking problem.
he can’t build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law
practise 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 defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench, in a very
quiet voice he said, “If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me,
I’ll send you both to the electric chair.”
