CAN YOU TOP THIS?
BEST COMEBACK RESPONSE OF THE YEAR
This policeman 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. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's'Best Comeback' line -- and he'll win.
Sorry I've been absent for a while. Dicky hip, now restored to full working order with RT, made it hard to sit at the PC for any length of time. Thanks for remembering my birthday, Phil. By a whisker I avoided starting RT that day!
Welcome back Grant,,thought you were still snow bound in Devon!!!LOL,,,,Glad your hip is back to normal and you can resume your ballet training or at least the "Hippy Hippy shake!!!"
ReplyDeleteI will understand if you wish to return my Christmas gift of that Hula Hoop however!
Oh, that's who it was from, was it? Sandra's using it as a waist band now, so I don't think I can return it...
ReplyDeleteHi Grant, welcome back.
ReplyDeleteGREAT story and remembering my experiences, I hope it is true!
Here is a picture of me young in service (I am on the right).
I had just missed catching Jack the Ripper by the thickness of a knife blade!
Marvellous story, Grant.
