GRANDMA IN COURT

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 defense 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 defense attorney almost died.

The judge asked both counselors 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
