A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's
fancy hot shot 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 cow, 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, "Your Honor, 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 cow,
Bessie".
Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded. "Well as I was saying, I had just
loaded Bessie, my favorite cow, 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 old 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, and saw her condition, he took out
his gun and shot her between the eyes.
Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me,
and said, "How are you feeling?"
"Now what the hell would you say?"
