FARMER JOE AND HIS MULE:
Farmer Joe decided his injuries from his recent accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In Court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didnt you say, at the scene of the accident, that you were Fine?"
"Well, I'll tell you what had 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 that you were fine?"
"Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and was driving down the road-----"
"Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, 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 Farmer Joe's answer and told the lawyer so.
"Well," said the Farmer, "as I was sayin' I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite Mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurtin' real bad, pretty sure my legs was all broke up, and I didnt want to move. However, I could hear Ol' Bessie just a bellowin' and moanin' and groanin'. I just knew she was in terrible and hurtin' shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene with his Blue lights a flashin'. He could hear Ol' Bessie a Bellowin' and a moanin' and a groanin' so he went over to her. After he took one look at Bessie he took out his gun and shot her Right between the eyes! Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand waving it about and he looked at me and he said:
"Your Mule had a broke up Leg and was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are You Feeling?"
