TWO OF THE YEAR'S BEST COMEBACK RESPONSES
>
>
> 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 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 we think he'll win.
