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
favourite 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'? "
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 favourite mule,
Bessie".
Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just
loaded Bessie, my favourite 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, gun in hand, looked
at me, and said, "How are you feeling?" Now, what the hell would you say???"
