...his injuries from the
accident were serious enough to take the
trucking company (responsible for the
accident) to court. In court, the
trucking companies' 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?"
