 Number 1:
     
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 defence attorney during a criminal 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 into laughter and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's 'Best Comeback' line.
