Lawyer Joke of the Week

Do you know me?

A small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial (a grandmotherly, elderly woman). He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I 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, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising 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. 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. I used to babysit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him."

At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counselors up to the bench for a sidebar. In a very quiet voice, the judge said: "If either of you asks her if she knows me, I'll put you in jail for contempt!"

You're a Grand Old Flag

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

* After receiving quite a bit of feedback (about 50% positive and 50% negative) re: the music on this site, I have decided that I can probably make pretty much everyone happy by disabling all the midis on this website but giving you the option still of being able to turn the midis on/off by clicking on the Windows media play button below. Enjoy!
