Lawyers should never ask grandmas....time pass

Lawyers should never ask grandmas a question if they are not prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, an elderly grandmother , to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs Batliwala, do you know me?"

She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr Chand. I have known you since you were a young boy and frankly you are a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you are a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.”

The lawyer was stunned !! not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, “Mrs Batliwala, do you know the defense attorney ?”

She again replied, “Why, Yes, I do. I have known Mr Aggarwal since he was a youngster. He is lazy, bigoted and has a drinking problem. He cant build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst here. Not to mention, he cheated on his wife with three different women. On them was your wife. Yes, I know him.”

The defense attorney almost died.

The Judge asked both Lawyers approach the Bench and in a quiet voice said, “If either of you rascals asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you to the hangman.”
