Southern Law Joke Questions asked in a courtroom can be very revealing... especially in the South. Even of an old, sweet lady many would be happy to call grandma. In a trial in the heart of the South, a prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly woman he had known since childhood, to the stand. He approached her and asked, Mrs. Whitaker, do you know me? She responded, Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Coolidge. Ive known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, youve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat, 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 lawyer. Yes, I know you. The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, Mrs. Whitaker, do you know the defense attorney? She again replied, Of course, I do. Ive known Mr. Johnson 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. Yes, I know him. The defense attorney turned red with embarassment. The judge upon hearing the questions and answers thus far asked both counselors to approach the bench. In a very quiet voice he said, If either of you asks her if she knows me, Ill throw you in jail for contempt.
