When Grandma goes to court: Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if 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 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 really you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more then a two-bit paper pusher. So... 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 again replied, "Why yes do know him. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster. He's lazy, 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 woman. One of them was your wife. Yes, I do 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 personally send both of you to the electric chair."

I got this in an email and just had to share. Sorry if I'm not supposed to be here.


For all of you who frequent restaurants and understand the need for the service to be faster, this short story is a timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference to an organization.




Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange.




When another waiter brought our water, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the spoon?" "Well" he explained, "the restaurant's owners hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several months of analysis, the concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man hours per shift."




As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare. "I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now."




I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter's fly. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?" Oh, certainly!" Then he lowered his voice. "Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of you-know-what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76,39 percent."




I asked " After you get it out, how do you put it back?"




"Well" he whispered, "I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon."

Only a person in OHIO could think of this.

From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Columbus, Ohio after last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other
patrons left the bar and drove off.

Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off--it was a fine, dry summer night--,flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons' vehicles left. At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.

The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said, I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the sheriff's office. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the truly proud non-drinker. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

A duck walks in to a bar and says to the bartender "Do you got any grapes?"
Bartender says "No, we don't serve grapes here, just drinks. Now get out."
So the duck just shrugs it's shoulders and leaves.
The next the duck walks in to the same bar and says to the bartender "Do you got any grapes?"
Bartender says "No, I told you yesterday we don't serve grapes here, just drinks. You come in asking that again, and I'll staple your beak to the floor. Now get out."
So the duck just shrugs it's shoulders and leaves.
The next day the duck walks in to the bar, and the bartender just starts staring at the duck.
So the duck says "Do you have any staples?"
This threw the bartender off, and so he said "Uh, no."
So the duck says "You got any grapes?"

The Bacon Tree


Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and starving. They are
are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says.......

"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk."

"Si, Luis, eet sure smells like bacon. "

With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance,
is a tree loaded with bacon.

There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon... every
imaginable kind of cured pork.

"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Ees a bacon tree."

"Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don' forget."

"Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon... ees no
meerage, ees a bacon tree."

And with that, Luis staggers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe
crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet
sock. Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath,

"Pepe... go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree! "

"Luis, Luis mi amigo... what ees it? "

"Pepe... ees not a bacon tree...

Bail 'em out? Maxine on the bail-out...

Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed.

Now we are trusting the economy of our country and our banking system to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey!!

A scientist is conducting a study on frogs concerning their aptitudes for jumping.

The scientist begins by numbing and cutting off the left forelimb to the frog, and commands it to "Jump, frog, jump!" Behold, the frog jumps! He records this in his notebook, and retires for the evening.

The next day, he returns, and does the same procedure with the frog's right forelimb, and commands him to "Jump, frog, jump!" Lo and behold, the frog jumps, despite its two missing forelimbs! These frogs must really love to jump, thinks the scientist.

The next day, the scientist cuts off the frog's left hind leg, and commands it to jump. With much hesitation, the frog manages a frugal yet determined jump a foot away from its position. Amazed, the scientist writes this in his journal, and retires for the evening.

The next day, the scientist returns to cut off the frog's last remaining limb. He commands the frog, "Jump, frog, jump!"

The frog, obviously, does not jump.

The scientist records in his notebook: "Frog has gone deaf."
