reported to be a true story,

,in a small town in ky. they were having a trial. the prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a really old woman to the stand. the lawyer approached the elderly lady and asked, " mrs, smith, do you know me? she responded, why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams, I've known you since you were a little boy, and frankly, you,ve been a big disappointent 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, mr. Williams, I know you.....the lawyer was stunned. not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, do you know the defense attorney?.....she again replied, why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. brown since he was a youngster, also. he is 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 state. not to mention he cheated on his wife four times, and one of the women was your wife, yes I know him..... the defense attorney almost died...... the judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, if either one of you idiots ask her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair."
