In a trial, a small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand. The witness was grand motherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, Mrs. Jones, do you know me? She responded, Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. Ive known you since you were a young boy and frankly, youve 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 youre a big shot when you havent 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 defence attorney? She again replied, Why yes, I do. Ive known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. Hes lazy, bigoted and he has a drinking problem. He cant 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 defence attorney almost died. The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said, If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, Ill throw you in jail for contempt!
