 ~Cross-Examination~ (2^nd time around) (Plus: Today in History, Word for the Day, Aunty Acid and 6 Differences.)

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 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. ***
