I'm Fine!
A farmer named Clyde had a auto accident. In court, the opposing
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, 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 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, 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 asked 'How are you feeling?'
"Now, what would you say?"
