Vehicle Accident
A
longtime resident of
Red
River
County
was
involved in a bad vehicle accident, caused by a truck. In court, the
trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning the resident.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine", the lawyer asked?
The citizen responded, "Yah," Let me told you what happened.
I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into da....
"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!"?
The citizen said, "I had just got ole Bessie into da trailer and I was
driving down da 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
Red
River
Sheriff's Deputy 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 answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in the citizen's answer, and
said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite
mule, Bessie". The citizen thanked the Judge and proceeded, "I had just
loaded ole Bessie, my favorite mule, into da trailer and was driving her
down da highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the
stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. Me, I was
thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into da other. I was
a hurting, real bad and didn't want to move at all.
But, I could herd ole Bessie a moanin and groanin. Me, I knew
she was in some kind o' terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly
after the accident, a
Red River
Sheriff's Deputy, he came on the scene. He herd ole Bessie a moanin'
and groanin' so, him, he went over to her. After he took hisself a look at
her, he took out his gun and shot her right between the eyes.
Then da
Red
River
Sheriff's Deputy came cross da road, gun in hand, and looked at me, and said
"How are you feeling?"
Now what da hell would you say? |
