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 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.
Good One!

ReplyDeleteWhat award show is this? Is Judge Judy hosting?
Another good comeback line...
ReplyDeleteA Police Officer was on Radar Duty one day and had not caught any speeders. Finally, a car speeds by at a high speed and the Officer stops it. The Officer says to the young man in the car...I've been waiting for you all day. The guy in the car says, well I hurried and got here as fast as I could!
The Officer laughed so hard that the driver did not get a ticket.
Is that Babe Wilson?
ReplyDeleteAn officer friend of mine said one day he was trying to pull over a lady for speeding, followed her all the way to a gas station where she got out and ran into the bathroom. Couple minutes later she came out and said Shew I almost didnt make it.
