A witness to an automobile accident was testifying. The lawyer asked him, “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 annoying lawyer would ask me that question.”
