BEST COMEBACK RESPONSE OF THE YEAR
An e-mail from John Hornby
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?" Q: "Officer - who provided this description?" Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?" 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?" Q: "And do you have a locker in the room?" Q: "And do you have a lock on your locker?" 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." | Kinks T-Shirt |

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. |
