The train was quite crowded and a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat. There seemed to be one next to a well-dressed French woman, but when he got there, he saw it was taken by the woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?" The French woman sniffed and sa...

This policeman gave an unsuspecting lawyer a dose of his own medicine. When the defense attorney brought the officers integrity into question during a cross examination for a felony trial, the officer had the best comeback EVER: Q: Officer did you see my client fleeing the scene? A: No sir. But I subs...
