Two Lawyers
A young attorney called his witness to the stand. She was a thin, frail, small and elderly woman.
“Miss Smith,” the attorney said. “Do you you know me?”
“Yes, of course, Mr. Wang. I’ve known you since your family first moved here. I have to admit that you’ve been a huge disappoint to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, hurt people, manipulate girls and talk about people behind their backs,” Miss Smith said. “You think you’re going to be a big-shot lawyer, but we all know you’ll never amount to much. Yes, I know you, Mr. Wang.”
Shocked, the lawyer pointed across the courtroom.
“Do you know the defense attorney, Miss Smith?” Mr. Wang asked.
Miss Smith crinkled her nose.
“Yes, I know Mr. Banks. I watched him grown up to the man he is today. I used to babysit for his parents. Sadly, he has been a huge disappointment as well. He is stupid, racist, rude, fat and can’t keep a healthy relationship with a normal, young woman. His law practices is a joke. Yes, Mr. Wang, I know Mr. Banks,” Miss Smith said.
The judge quieted the whispers in the courtroom.
With a stern tone, the judge said, “If anyone asks if she knows me, you’ll both be sent to jail.”
