During a trial

During a trial the defense lawyer

approached to an elderly grandmother 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.”

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. He’s lazy 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.”

The defense attorney almost died.

The judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench and in a quiet voice said:

“If either of you rascals asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you to 20 years of prison.”
