Ole had a car 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 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!'?"
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
Minnesota 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 just
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 my 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 just by her groans".
"Shortly after da accident da Minnesota Highway Patrolman came to da
scene."
"He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went 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 the Patrolman came across da road, gun still in hand, looked at
me and
said, 'How are you feeling?'" "Now vat the hell vould YOU say?"
