It Sorta Makes Sense

Farmer Joe decided that his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible to court. In court the trucking company's lawyer asked Farmer Joe, "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?"

In response, Farmer Joe started to talk about loading his favorite mule Bessie into the trailer.

The lawyer interrupted him & spoke to the judge saying, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident this man told a Highway Patrolman 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."

But the judge was interested in Farmer Joe's answer & asked him to continue.

Farmer Joe said, "Well, as I was driving my truck, pulling my mule Bessie in the trailer, the huge semi-truck & trailer ran a stop sign & hit me. I was thrown into one ditch & Bessie into another. I was hurting real bad & didn't want to move. Bessie was moaning & groaning so I knew she was hurt bad too. Shortly thereafter a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He went over looked at Bessie, who was still moaning & groaning, pulled out his gun & shot her between the eyes. Then he came over to me with his gun in his hand & looked at me."

"The Patrolman said, 'Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. HOW ARE YOU FEELING?'"
