A police officer came upon a terrible wreck where the driver and passenger had been killed. As he looked upon the wreckage a little monkey came out of the brush and hopped around the crashed car.
The officer looked down at the monkey and said “I wish you could talk”. The monkey looked up at the officer and nodded his head. “You can understand what I’m saying?” asked the officer. Again, the monkey nodded vigorously. “Well, did you see this?” “Yes”, motioned the monkey.
“What happened?” Asked the officer.
The monkey pretended to have a can in his hand and turned it up by his mouth. They were drinking?” asked the officer.
“Yes”.
“What else?” The monkey pinched his fingers together and held them to his mouth. “They were smoking marijuana?”
“Yes”.
“What else?” The monkey motioned “Screwing”. “They were screwing, too?” asked the astounded officer.
“Yes”. “Now wait, you’re saying your owners were drinking, smoking and screwing before they crashed?”
“Yes”.
“What were you doing during all this?”
“Driving” motioned the monkey.

Trust a fellow officer
A defence lawyer was cross-examining a police officer during a trial — it went like this:
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 streets 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 locker room in the police station, 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 that 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, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those officers?
A: You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes defence lawyers have been known to walk through that room.
