If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as
sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense
attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the
police officer's credibility…

QUESTION: “Officer --- did you see my client fleeing the scene?”

ANSWER: “No, sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching
the description of the offender, running several blocks away.”

QUESTION: “Officer, who provided this description?”

ANSWER: “The officer who responded to the scene.”

QUESTION: “A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called
offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?”

ANSWER: “Yes, sir. With my life.”

QUESTION: “With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you
have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your
daily duties?”

ANSWER: “Yes sir, we do!”

QUESTION: “And do you have a locker in the room?”

ANSWER: “Yes, sir, I do.”

QUESTION: “And do you have a lock on your locker?”

ANSWER: “Yes, sir.”

QUESTION: “Now, why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with
your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share
with these same officers?”

ANSWER: “You see, sir, we share the building with the court complex,
and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.

The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called.

The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's Best Comeback
line -- and we think he'll win.
