I'm Fine
A farmer named Clyde had a tractor 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 replied, "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, please. Did you or did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?"
Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer behind the tractor, and I was driving down the road when—"
The lawyer interrupted again. "Your Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman he was fine. Now, several weeks later, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he's a fraud. Please instruct him to simply answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde’s response.
"I’d like to hear what he has to say about his cow, Bessie," the Judge said.
Clyde thanked the Judge and continued:
"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 a stop sign and smacked my John Deere tractor right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch, and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurt real bad and didn’t want to move.
"But I could hear ol’ Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her sounds.
"Shortly after the accident, a Highway Patrolman arrived on the scene. He heard Bessie moaning and went over to check on her. After taking one look at her condition, he pulled out his gun and shot her between the eyes.
"Then he walked across the road, gun still in hand, looked down at me, and said: 'How are you feeling?'
"Now tell me, Your Honor... if you were lying in a ditch, in pain and full of grief from losing your favorite cow, having just watched a policeman shoot her for moaning - what would you say?" #fblifestyle estyle
