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.'
