In a small town, there was a trial starting, where a young man had been accused of robbery. The key witness to this was a 84 year old woman. She was asked to take the stand, then sworn in. The first lawyer got up and pointed toward the young man and asked if she knew him. She said "I am 84 years old, and I have lived in this town all my life, so I know everyone here." The lawyer, overwhelmed by this statement,saw an opportunity to embarass the other lawyer. They couldn't stand each other and was always looking for some way to get at each other. He then pointed at the other lawyer. "Do you know him?.'' She said " yes, he is Jim Johnson, I have known him since he was a small boy. He was a lazy, good for nothing lad, now married but runs around on his wife and stays gone most of the time." The lawyers mouth was gaped open in shock, as he slumped down in his chair, clearly embrassed. When it was time to cross examine the witness, the other lawyer had completely forgotten about the trial and wanted revenge. He walked to the middle of the floor and pointed toward the other lawyer. "Do you know him?" The witness said,'yes. Sam Jones, I have known him since he was a small boy. He was lazy, couldn't hold down a job, and was worthless. He drinks heavily and stays at the bar most of the time. When he is not drunk, he is running around with your wife." This lawyer was also embarrassed and slumped in his chair. The judge, seeing this is getting out of hand, slams down his gavel and summonds both lawyers to the bench.
Whispering low, so no one else could hear him he said,"Listen, if either one of you idiots ask her if she knows me, I will have both of you thrown in jail, and you will stay there for a long time." rockhound
