Lawyers should never ask grandmas a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer! 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. Ive known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, youre a big disappointment to me... You lie, cheat on your wife, 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 thana two-bit paper pusher. Yes,I know you...” The lawyer was stunned! Notknowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney (the opponents lawyer)? She again replied, Why, yes, I do. Ive known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster. Hes lazy, bigoted, and has a drinking problem. He cant 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 yourwife. .. Yes I know him. The defense attorney almost died. The judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench and in a quiet voice said: If either of you rascals asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you to jail for contempt of court!!!
