Best comeback of the year

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!
