Fwd: Southern grandma!!


Lawyers should never ask a southern 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 diappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on you wife, 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 2-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 3 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 bence and--in a very quiet voice--said, "If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, I'll throw your sorry asses in jail for contempt."
