In a trial, a Southern small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand. She was a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He asked, Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams," she said. "I've known you since you were a young boy and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, 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 quite knowing what to do next, 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 cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife Yes, I know him." The defense attorney almost fainted. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench - and in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you bastards asks that bitch if she knows me, I'll throw your sorry asses into jail for contempt."
