      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...
       
      Q: 'Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'
       A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description
       of the offender, running several blocks away.'
       Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'
       A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'
       Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender.
       Do you trust your fellow officers?'
       A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'
       Q: '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?'
       A: 'Yes sir, we do!'
       Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'
       A: 'Yes sir, I do.'
       Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'
       A: 'Yes sir.'
       Q: '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?'
       A: '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.
