In Court

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.
