Lombardo, Brodsky & Judge Dunnigan

In a recent trial that is going to make headline news, Sarasota prosecuting attorney Ed Brodsky 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. Brodsky. 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 back. 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."

Mr. Brodsky was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney, Mr. Peter Lombardo?"

She again replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Lombardo 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."

Mr. Lombardo, nearly died.

Judge Janette Dunnigan asked Mr. Brodsky and Mr. Lombardo 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."

Very old, stupid joke.
