DONT ASK GRANDMA SILLY QUESTIONS
Lawyers should never ask grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.
In a trial in a small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, an elderly grandmother, 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're a big disappointment to me.
You lie, cheat on your wife, 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.
He's lazy, bigoted and has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the
worst in the 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 lawyers to approach the bench and in a quiet voice said: "If either of you f#ckers asks her if she know me, I'll send you to the electric chair.
