Best comeback of the year: received from C Alan Kang
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 policeman'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 erupted in 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.
