Think
"I'm fine" is the only answer.
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 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 ol' 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 would you say?"
