A Response To Outsmart A Lawyer



This policeman was being cross-examined by a defence 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.

THE SHREDDER

The other day, someone sent this picture to my email.  When I saw it, I was tickled pink.  A flood of memories flashed through my head during my own days as a senior manager in the corporate world.  There was a jumble of feelings of intrigue and amusement.  My secretary and support staff took care of all my needs to operate any office equipment to the extent that I do not even know where some of them are located!  Do not talk about operating the equipment.  The question of even touching them does not arise.

How pathetic the senior people are in the office!  Interestingly, these are people with strings of degrees and MBAs but when confronted with a machine they are totally baffled!  Most senior managers are so dependent on their support staff and/or secretaries that without them they are so very lost.  This picture, though may have slightly exaggerated a real life situation, aptly reflects some of the beguiling and the lighter moments of working in an office environment.

"Shooting Stars" Explained

When we peer into the night sky on a clear night, sometimes we see shooting stars. As we all know they are space debris or rocks that burn up when they hit the earth atmosphere.

In the days of yore, shooting stars were seen by the ancients as signs that foretold a good or bad omen. However, in our space age era, shooting stars originate from another source which not many of us think of….Click here to find out what this is in the video link.
