A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking
company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm
fine,'?" asked
the lawyer.
Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just
loaded my favorite mule, Bessie..."
"I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer interrupted.
"Just answer
the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm
fine!'?"
Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was
driving down the road....."
The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to
establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told
the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several
weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he
is a fraud.
Please tell him to simply answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and
said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his
favorite mule, Bessie".
Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded.
"Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule,
into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge
semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right
in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into
the other. I was hurting, real bad and didn't want to move. However,
I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in
terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a
Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and
groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her
fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.
Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at
me and said, "How are you feeling?"
"Now what the h*(( would you say?"
