Ole's car was hit by a truck in an accident. In court, the trucking
company's lawyer was questioning Ole. 'Didn't you say, sir, at the scene of
the accident, 'I'm fine,'?' asked the lawyer.
Ole responded, 'Vell, I'll tell you vat happened. I had yust 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!'?
Ole said, 'Vell, 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 Ole's answer and said to
the lawyer, 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule,
Bessie'.
Ole thanked the Judge and proceeded. 'Vell, as I vas saying, I had yust
loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into da trailer and vas driving her down da highvay ven dis huge semi-truck and trailer ran da stop sign and smacked
truck right in da side. I vas thrown into one ditch and Bessie vas thrown into da other. I vas hurting, real bad and didn't vant to move. However, I could hear Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape
yust by her groans'.
'Shortly after da accident da Highway Patrolman he came to da scene. He
could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he vent over to her'.
'After he looked at her and saw her fatal condition he took out his gun and
shot her right 'tween da eyes. Then da Patrolman he came across da road, gun still in hand, looked at me and said, 'How are you feeling?''
Awww poor Bessie. I was so sad about the mule that I didn't even get the funny at the end at first! LOL Where do you get these? They are just what I needed for a Friday. Thanks!
