Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question.. if they
aren't prepared for the answer.
.................
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his
first witness to the stand. She was a 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. I've known you
since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've 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 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?"
Again she replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was
a youngster, too.
He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem.
He can't 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.
In a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she
knows me , I'll send you to the electric chair!
