If you have ever testified in court, you might wish you could have been as <br /> sharp as this Cop. <br /> A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony <br /> trial - it went like this: <br /> <br /> Q: Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? <br /> <br /> A: No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of <br /> the offender running several blocks away. <br /> <br /> Q: Officer, who provided this description? <br /> <br /> A: The officer, who responded to the scene. <br /> <br /> Q: A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do <br /> you trust your fellow officers? <br /> <br /> A: Yes sir, with my life. <br /> <br /> Q: With your life? Let me ask you this then officer, do you have a room <br /> where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties? <br /> <br /> A: Yes sir, we do. <br /> <br /> Q: And do you have a locker in that room? <br /> <br /> A: Yes sir, I do. <br /> <br /> Q: And do you have a lock on your locker? <br /> <br /> A: Yes sir. <br /> <br /> Q: Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, <br /> that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with <br /> those same officers? <br /> <br /> A: You see sir, we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes <br /> lawyers have been known to walk through that room. <br /> <br /> With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was <br /> called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's Best <br /> Comeback Line and we think he'll win.
