I got this great email from my friend Fern, a grandma herself! So here's a little legal humor for your weekend!
*****
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 boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you maipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you will never 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 has cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. So yes, I know him." The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge called both counselors to approach the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair!"
