"A Trial Attorney Put..." joke

A trial attorney put each witness in the case through a brutal cross-examination. He was elated in his success in forcing the the witnesses to admit that could not remember the details of an automobile accident, turning minor inconsistencies and memory lapses into major challenges to each witness's credibility. Finally, he reached the last witness, feeling very happy with himself and murmuring under his breath, "Here we go for the no-hitter." He approached the witness.

"Sir, do you claim you actually saw the accident?" he asked.

"Yes I did."

"How far away were you when the accident happened?"

"I was 28 feet, 4 and 5/8 inches from the point of collision."

"Twenty-eight, four and five-eights inches?," the lawyer sneered. "Do you reaaly expect us to believe that your memory is so good and your depth perception so extreme precise that you have somehow magically been able to arrive in court today and give that type of super-human detail?"

"Yes," the witness stated. "And I will tell you why. As I stood their next to the accident, I said to myself,' One day, some obnoxious, know-it-all lawyer is going to ask me how fair away the accident is and try to call me a liar or an idiot if I don't know it down to the fraction of an inch.' So I got a tape measure and measured out the exact distance."
