When Grandma Goes to Court

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 you haven't the brains to realize you'll never 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 defense 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 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!'

My fishes...

Look at how big my Ranchu have grown... =)


I am using the Tetrafin Food for added colour and I must say, it did make the fishes glow brighter. =)

That's my nephew NIRRO =)
Of course, my birthday would not be complete without a Starbucks Mocha Frap... =)

A Happy Birthday Indeed ...

I had a very special and indeed a very happy birthday as I spent it with people who truly care and love me. =) Aside from that, my friends (old and new) remembered my special day. =)

It feels really good knowing that they know... =)

My nephew was all excited for my brithday too that he spent the night here with me. I then brought him to school the next day, which was awhile ago actually.

I also had very special gifts - a mickey mouse shawl, and a new cellphone! My nephew forgot his gift for me so that's another surprise.

My day couldn't be better than what transpired...

To all you out there who didn't forget, my sincerest gratitude! =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Happy Birthday to Me... Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday... Happy Birthday...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

brothers and sisters

At the seaside restaurants in Macapagal Ave., pirated DVDs are being sold. That is where I bought the Gossip Girl series and about two (2) weekends ago, we were there again having dinner and naturally, DVDs were bought. =) I bought this series called "Brothers and Sisters" because it seemed interesting, with a cast including Sally Field, Robe Lowe, and Calista Flockhart aka Ally McBeal. Since we bought a lot of movies, I watched them first. It was just last night that I began watching the b & s series and I am right. The series was good!

I particularly like the way they show the dymanics in a family composed of five (5) children whose lives and personalities complement and clash at the same time. I can't help but relate in certain situations and see my family do the same. =) They seem dysfunctional but then I realize, no family isn't. Know what I mean?

They are the "Walkers", and theirs is a family that argue on matters about politics, beliefs and values but at the same a family that you know you could count on and will always be there in times of crisis and triumphs. They give true meaning to what a family should be.

Nice. =)

thinking out loud

I've been sick the past days, but nothing serious. Anyway, I'm getting a year older next monday, February 4. Yup yup yup. My birthday's coming up and I am truly wishing that it will be a very special day... =)

My parents will soon be here, too be by the end of February, so my home alone days will soon be over... and so is my temporary "independence". hehehe.

5-minute Management Course

Some of you must have received this email already a long time ago, as I have. But I just felt it was woth blogging about.

Read on...

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.’ After thinking for a moment the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom her husband asks, ‘Who was that? ‘The next door neighbor,’ she replies, ‘it was Bob.’Great’, the husband says, ‘did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?’

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”

The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.”

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish.” ‘Me first! Me first!’ says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas driving a speedboat without a care in the world.’ Puff! and she’s gone.

‘Me next! me next!’ says the Sales Rep. ‘I want to be in Hawaii relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse and an endless supply of Pina Colada with the love of my life’. Puff! and she’s gone.

“OK, you’re up” the genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing?”

The eagle answered: ” Sure, why not.”

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.

All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull, “they’re packed with nutrients”. The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

BullShit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.


Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.
