Lawyers.

Lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren't prepared
for the answer, to wit:

In a trial, in a small Southern town the prosecuting attorney called
his first witness, a grand-motherly, 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 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 big
shot when you haven't the brains to realise 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 defence attorney?"

She again replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Smith since he was a
youngster too. He's lazy!, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He
can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practise is
one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his
wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I
know him."

The defence attorney almost died.

The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench, and in a very
quiet voice, said, "If either of you b@st@rds asks her if she knows me, I'll throw your sorry ars#s in jail."
