Nothing But The Truth
Nothing But The Truth
During a trial in a small Mississippi town, a witness, with her hand on the bible, was sworn in with the standard admonitions to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help her God.
The witness was a well-dressed elderly lady, the Grandmother type, proper, well-spoken, and poised.
The prosecuting attorney approached the woman and 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've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people, and talk badly about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the sense to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper-pushing shyster. Yes, I know you quite well."
The lawyer was stunned. He couldn't even think for a few minutes. Then, he backed away slowly, fearing the looks on the judge's and jurors' faces, not to mention the court reporter who documented every word.
Not knowing what else to do, 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 has a bad drinking problem. The man can't build or keep a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state . . . not to mention his cheating on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him." The defense attorney almost fainted and was seen slipping downward in his chair as he gazed embarrassingly at the floor.
Laughter, mixed with gasps, thundered throughout the courtroom, and the spectators were on the verge of chaos.
The judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both counselors to the bench, and, in a very quiet voice said,
"If either of you ass holes asks her if she knows me, you're going
to jail!.
