Farmer Joe was in his car
when he was hit by a truck. He decided his injuries from the accident were
serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to
court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?" said the
lawyer.
Farmer Joe responded, "Well I'll tell you what happened. I had
just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the...." "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'!"
Farmer Joe 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 Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what
he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie."
Joe 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, he took out
his gun and shot her between the eyes.
Then the Patrolman came across the
road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, "Your mule was in such
bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?"
