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 judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench and in a
quiet Voice said: "If either of you idiots asks her if she
knows me, I'll send you to The electric chair."
