When Grandma goes to court.

[66KingFisher]

At the beginning of a trial in a small southern town, the 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. I've known you since you were a little boy and frankly you've turned out to be a big dissapointment to our community. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people, and then talk about them behind their backs. You think you're some kinda bigshot in this town, when the truth is you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher.....Yes, I know you".

The lawyer was stunned, and 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. I've known Mr Bradley since he was a youngster too. He's grown to be a lazy, biggoted, foul mouthed jerk with 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 the mention he's cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife as I recall.......Yes, I know him." The defense attorney nearly had a coronary and sank down in his chair.

At that moment the judge called both attorneys to approach the bench, and in a very quiet voice said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair."
