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 trustyour 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 I think he’ll win.

“We make a living by what we get, we make
a life by what we give” and DO NOT GO
WHERE THE PATH MAY LEAD … INSTEAD GO
WHERE THERE IS NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL.
And always remember…Life is short,
Break the rules, Stay outside the box,
Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love Truly,
Laugh uncontrollably, and Never regret
anybody or anything that made you Smile.
