A small town prosecuting lawyer called his first witness to the stand in a trial-a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, “Mrs. Smith, do you know me?”

She responded, “Yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheated your wife, you harass people and are a good back bitter. Yes, I know you.”

The lawyer was speechless. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, “Mrs. Smith, do you know the defense lawyer?”

She again replied, “Why, yes I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He’s lazy, stupid, he has a drinking problem. The man can’t build a normal 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 counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, “If either of you dare to asks her if she knows me, you’ll be behind the bars in within 3 minutes!”
