Come back of the year!
 

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.

priceless. i've got a great workout buddy and friend who's a lawyer..and he cooks like a bandit. he'd get a laugh out of that..i think.. ;)

Good return!

Many years ago the ex and I were in a stupid argument about something that was so pointless, I cannot recall. The ex has had enough, and has decided that she's going to spend the night at her friend Debbie's house, as punishment for me naturally.

Ex: (grabbing her keys and heading for the kitchen door, point her finger at me) You'll be lucky if I come home tonight.

Me: (not missing a slow pitch down the middle) I'll be lucky if you don't.

There was nothing for her to do after that except carry out her threat and give me some peace and quiet for the evening.
