Dont ask questions if u r not prepared for the answer !!!

Why Lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren't prepared
for the answer..... (But this story applicable to all)

In a trial, a small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to
the stand. The witness was grand motherly, elderly woman.
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, 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 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. Bradley 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 practice 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 defense attorney almost died.
The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench, and in a very Quiet
voice, said, "If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, I'll throw
you in jail for contempt
