A small town persecuting attorney called his first witness to stand in a trial, a grand motherly elder woman. He approached her an 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 have been a big disappointment to me, you lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talkabout them behind teir backs, you think you are a rising big shot when you haven’t the brain to realize you will neveramount to anything more than a two – bit paper pusher.
Yes i kniow you.
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he he pointed across the room and asked “Mrs Williams do you know the defense attorney?
She repied ‘Why yes i do.’ I’ve known Mr Bradley since he was a youngstar too. I used to babysit him for his parents and he too have been a big disappointment to me. He’s lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. The man can’t build a functional relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes i know him.
At this point the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counsellors to the bench.
In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, ” if any of you asks her if she knows me, you’ll be jailed for contempt”!
