Don't Ask Questions If You're Not Prepared For The Answer

Ah, the joys of living in a small southern town!

When Grandma Goes To 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 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'll 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 ye s, 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 nearly 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.'
