My cousin sent me this. i think its funny so i thought i'd share
A PROSECUTING ATTORNEY, A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, AND A GRANDMOTHER...
Lawyers should never ask a Southern grandmother a question if they aren't
prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern 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
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 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 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."
When the defense attorney heard Mrs. Jones' statement, he almost died. 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 both of
you
to the electric chair."
