1. Smart Policeman

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 .....

"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."

"Officer -- who provided this description?"
> A: "The officer who responded to the scene."

"A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?"
A: "Yes, Sir. With my life."

"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!"

"And do you have a locker in the room?"
A: "Yes, Sir, ... I do."

"And do you have a lock on your locker?"
A: "Yes, Sir."

"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
