            BEST COMEBACK OF THE YEAR

If you ever have to testify in court, you might wish you were as
sharp as this policeman. A defense attorney was trying to
undermine his credibility during a felony trial:

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, yet 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.
