When Grandma goes to court

Whilst you are reading this myself and a number of our sales team are attending the annual Real Estate Results Network Conference.  Next week I will share with you all the exciting new real estate ideas for 2012.In the mean time here is a funny story about a couple of solicitors to brighten your day!

“In a trial in a small town in the USA a prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a local grandmother, to the stand. He approached her and asked “Mrs Jones , do you know me? “ She replied “Why yes I do know you Mr Williams. I`ve known you since you were a boy and frankly you`ve been a big 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 paper pusher. Yes I do 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 replied “Why yes I do. I`ve also known Mr Bradley since he was a youngster.  He`s bigoted and he has a drinking problem. He can`t build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women and one of them was your wife. Yes I know him.”

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and in a very quiet voice said,

“If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I`ll send you both to the electric chair!”

Have a great weekend!
