>A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony

>
>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
>locker room in the police station - 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 that 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, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share
>with those same officers?
>A. You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes
>lawyers have been known to walk through that room.
>
>With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was
>called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best
>come-back" line, and we think he'll win.
