Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question unless they aren’t prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a Southern small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly elderly woman to the stand. He approached her 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 boy, and frankly, you’ve been a huge disappointment 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 pencil pusher. Yes, I know you.’
