Lawyers should never ask an old grandma a question if they arent prepared for the answer. In a trial, a small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. 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 defense 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 defense attorney 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, Ill send you to the electric chair.
