Grandma in the Courtroom*

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, 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 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 defence attorney?" She

again 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 defence attorney almost died. The judge asked both counsellors 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 to the

electric chair."
