Farmer Joe
Farmer Joe 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'?,"
questioned 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?"
It was then that I said, "I'm fine."
