      Have a good day!

      Best Comeback Line:






       


      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 policeman'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 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 erupted in 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.
