Lawyer and WitnessA witness to an automobile accident was testifying. The following exchange
took place between the lawyer and the witness:The lawyer: "Did you actually see the accident?"
The witness: "Yes, sir."
The lawyer: "How far away were you when the accident happened?"
The witness: "Thirty-one feet, six and one quarter inches."
The lawyer (thinking he'd trap the witness): "Well, sir, will you tell the
jury how you knew it was exactly that distance?"The witness: "Because when the accident happened I took out a tape and
measured it. I knew some stupid lawyer would ask me that question."
